sweet deal

Very nice! MGM seems a bit slow on releasing the episodes from the new Outer Limits... I wonder if they'll eventually get around to releasing all 150 + episodes season by season??

i assume its a rights issue with doing season sets...some actors and writers residuals would be expensive, and not cost effective for season sets

Not too sure about the mix of episodes. There are a few missing that seem like they should go on there. "Music of the Spheres" (with Kirstin Dunst) could've gone on either the "Aliens Among Us" or "Mutations" collections.

And there was a sequel to "Quality of Mercy," "The Light Brigade," that probably should've been on that disc, too. Still, we're fortunate to have the former.

"Think Like a Dinosaur" (based on the short story by James Patrick Kelly) also should've been included in the Aliens set.

Only buying season box sets. The show was of a very good quality that the average episode was good, so I want all the episodes. Also, the uncut versions shown on Showtime.

I can't decide whether or not to hold out for season sets. The ones they released in Canada are the syndicated versions (and aren't even full seasons, anyways). I'll probably pick these up and double dip if they ever do release full seasons.
