200063649Los Angeles: Metro Goldwyn Mayer / Trilogy/ Showtime / Alliance Atlantis 2000. No Binding. Fine. Fine; quite literally As New even though received here new in October of 2000. 'The Outer Limits' Television Series 1990s collector's embroidered patch. Large at 6 13/16" x 5 1/4". Obverse in gilt and white thread embroidery on deep forest green fine-ribbed cloth. Embroidery executed through stabilizing cloth on reverse. See images of both sides. 'The Outer Limits' series of the nineties was an updated version of the 60s' series of the same name with newer and better special effects and other production values. Both incarnations were inspired by Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" series a now-timeless sequence of Science Fiction / Horror tales with a solemn narrated message at the beginning and end of each installment usually a lesson about regarding the nature of the spirit of the human species sometimes with a cosmological twist as well delivered by Serling. Both incarnations of The Outer Limits followed his lead in that and in other major creative elements. While the 90s Outer Limits had of course better production values in general being newer neither acolyte ever quite matched Serling's pre- and post-episode message delivery or writing. All three are now of course a part what makes the genre so collectible in all forms. An extraordinarily scarce patch having apparently never been produced in large number nor widely distributed. Ships in stout protection of course. S-mph5 <br/> <br/> Metro Goldwyn Mayer / Trilogy/ Showtime / Alliance Atlantis unknown
