Back in 2001, I caught a few episodes of the short-lived horror anthology series Night Visions on TV and remembered finding it a decent if unremarkable show. Since I have a goal to eventually rewatch every single movie and TV show I remember watching from my childhood and early 20s, I figured I'd revisit this series and see how it held up to memory.

Well, I found every episode on YouTube and watched all but two of them (Stupid YouTube muted the entire auto tracks of those two episodes, and there were no subtitles available, so I decided to skip them.). Overall, it was a pretty good series; the host was rather lame, but the stories and guest actors were generally above average. It's a shame this show was cancelled after only a single season; there was definitely enough potential there for another two or three quality seasons.

My rating: A

I've also watched the first nine episodes of the 1995-96 series Space: Above and Beyond. Unfortunately, this show hasn't really impressed me. The premise is good, and there's nothing really bad about the series, but the execution falls short for me; the whole war storyline feels haphazard and directionless, the starships/fighters aren't very impressive design-wise, and the idea that humanity has developed the capability to create AIs, artificial humans, and ships with antigravity and FTL capabilities so soon into the future -- the 2050s-2060s, to be precise -- stretches credibility to the breaking point for me.

I frankly don't feel compelled to watch the remaining episodes.

My rating: C+
