Now, if we can only get MGM to release the entire New Outer Limits series on DVD instead of just the six poor teaser discs and the 1st season now only available.

S1 E14: The planet Zanti coerces permission for its misfits, giant ants with human heads, to emigrate to Earth. It has brains, history, a message and good entertainment. My review for The Outer Limits Season 1, Episode 14 'The Zanti Misfits.' The episode is directed by Leonard Horn.

Plots are intelligent, scientifically accurate projections of the unknown possibilities of the sometimes frightening and imminent future. With seven (7) years of programs versus just the two (2) years of the original series, the producers and writers have certainly added considerable new original stories and philosophical lines to a much longer running and very well produced (cable) TV series. ![]() I find the New Outer Limits WELL MORE than just a remake of old retread episodes, as some of the more adolescent commentators have suggested.
