For those not old enough to remember, back in the 80's ABC had a show called the 'Afterschool Special'. This show was way out of line. It always had some creepy over-dramatic cheesy story trying to shove some overblown moral down your throat. This episode reminded me of those shows. It starts out ok, 5 high school stereotypes get abducted by an Alien that demands they choose one of them to die, or all 5 of the kids will die. It goes downhill very quickly from there, it has that unnatural dialogue, where the characters are being used at a mouthpiece for some point the writer is trying to make, rather than speaking from character, - The X-files would fall into this lazy type of writing / narration quite often. Although it is done in a much more entertaining way, I could not escape the feeling I was watching an errant episode of the 'Afterschool Special' that somehow is masquerading as an 'Outer Limits' show. The last half falls into this degeneracy more than the first half. One of the weaker episodes if you ask me... and no more naked ladies like Valerie 23... shame.Thanks to OL I got to find out that the chick from 'Who's the Boss?' has a nice rack... small but firm and shapely... Tonight on a special 'Outer Limits'... Samanatha gets naked.God Bless Amerka and Trumpty Dumpty 2024!
