Re: Worst Scierce Fiction series ever aired.
Bryan, I think it depends on the specific episode. Yes, you can get some great stuff, but I guess maybe because of the hour long format, that causes some stories to seem pretentiously padded at times whereas Twilight Zone at a half hour always comes in crisply done and just seems better.
And then there was an episode like "Wolf 359" which seemed to spend more time on its monster of the week while ignoring completely the whole conceit of a planet in miniature developing in the lab. You'd have thought they could have sprung for one shot of people scurrying about using a piece of old stock footage that would be Patrick O'Neal's view through the microscope but all we get is a picture of a mushroom cloud to show that they've reached the atomic age.
