Remember when writing was clever?

Still happens now. but seldom. 

I wish they'd bring this kind of thing back and do it justice.

Wow, that is good writing lol.  I wonder, does the same amount of good writing still exist, but the quantity of media is exponentially higher - its just like finding a needle in a haystack - or is there actually less good writing today.  I imagine both could be true.

The reason why I stick to games like Final Fantasy VII is so I do not have to bother wasting my time on supposed new and improved games with horrible writing.

A Stitch In Time, Tribunal and Dead Man's Switch are excellent episodes too.  I would recommend the Outer Limits to anyone (apart from the awful final season).  Then there are things like this, that make you think:

And notice how you want to know what is going on from the very beginning... it draws you in easily.

Special effects play little to no part in good stories.  They can only be used to polish a good story.

According to IMDB no.  And the only New Outer Limits he wrote was

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0667893/

Although that's also a decent episode.

Here it is.  Imho this is the best written episode of the new Outer Limits.  Especially if you like Time Travel.  Clever writing, good acting, and thought provoking.
