There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.Remember? The calm voice of Vic Perrin telling you you have no control over your life for the next hour. I was impressed.
Unfortunately, if you saw The Outer Limits now, it would have the same effect as MacGyver. You loved and adored him and his talents then but since the reruns began, you've had awkward moments thinking how on earth you did love this?
Anyhow, the prologue is unique (okay, there was once this Star Trek and the place where no man had ever gone before).
