Well, I was wondering how they could run through bushes and grass without getting scrapes and cuts on their bodies. These too would be immovable! The grass would be like a bed of needles and would cut up their feet as they run through it! They didn't avoid the bushes and grass as they ran back and forth between the crash site and the military base.

Upon rereading this article, there's one more thing I'd like to comment on:<br /><br /><i>"After time re-synchronizes and he climbs out of his wrecked X-15, [Jim] makes sure somebody puts the fire out before he even bothers to see if Linda survived her car crash."</i><br /><br />Yeah, Jim's an asshole, but I can't really blame him for this, since the fire is an immediate threat. But yeah, other than that he sucks a lot.Mark Lungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470025194827675845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4584587054071618235.post-35270300523997817282020-07-19T01:14:12.538-07:002020-07-19T01:14:12.538-07:00Got one more sci-fi credit for WIlliam Bramley: I ...Got one more sci-fi credit for WIlliam Bramley: I just saw him in the <i>Land of the Giants</i> episode "Giants and All That Jazz".Mark Lungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470025194827675845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4584587054071618235.post-235639671772405872020-05-15T09:58:19.639-07:002020-05-15T09:58:19.639-07:00'Premonition' was the first 'Outer Lim...'Premonition' was the first 'Outer Limits' I saw.

My girlfriend at the time pissed herself laughing at the pathetic microbe in THE PROBE (now you can freeze frame and see a human hand underneath), but during THE PREMONITION she was genuinely scared of The Limbo Being, hiding her eyes when she sensed it was going to reappear. "Spooky".

Better still: Use his own bootlaces or shirt or wife's nylon stockings (none of which was "petrified")! Hey! Does that mean that the length of seatbelt he in fact used wasn't back in its original position when time "caught up?"
