There is nothing wrong with your television set. So you may as well put it out of your mind for a couple of hours, as Roy will be joined by a very interesting panel for a discussion about the seminal sci-fi-horror-dark fantasy television series “The Outer Limits.” The focus specifically will be on a new book about the classic TOL episode “Nightmare” (1963), in which a group of space soldiers representing Unified Earth are captured and psychologically tortured by Ebonites.

Zooming in to talk about it will be Dave Rash (who put together the book), Dominick Stefano (son of scriptwriter and series creator Joseph Stefano), David Frankham (who has a substantial role in the actual episode), and Michael L. Schuman (whose critical assessment of the episode is included in the book).

I’ll be joining you in the comments section for this one. Roy and I will reunite on Friday for a belated salute to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek’s Lt. Uhura.

In the meantime, the conversation will be out of limits tonight, for a special edition of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. The comments section will be a nightmare, when the show livestreams on Facebook, This Sunday evening at 7:30 pm EDT!
