OUTER LIMITS SEASON 2 1964-1965 (MGM)

One of the premier sci-fi shows on TV during the 60's was The Outer Limits. A while back I reviewed the first season, and now I present Season 2. The shorter and final season.

17 episodes comprise season 2, and one can tell the quality of the show was dropping, but there are still some gems in here.

THE DUPLICATE MAN 12/19/64...Ron Randall stars as a man who duplicates himself in order to destroy a menacing monster.

BRAIN OF COLONEL BARHAM 1/2/65...Anthony Eisley is a cripple and very bitter man who agrees to let his brain be put inside a robot for experiments in space flight. Grant Williams and Martin Kosleck also star.

THE PREMONITION 1/9/65...The first episode of the show I ever saw. A man and his wife are caught in a bizarre time dimension where everything stand still.
