While I figured this out early on, it is certainly an engaging episode. A group of scientists have created a computer that can connect one human brain to another. The idea is for a psychologist to enter the thoughts of another to quell the demons that are haunting him or her. For instance, a man with paranoid schizophrenia walks through fire to confront what seems to be his father (or some other dangerous entity). By breaking free, he will be able to get rid of the voices telling him to kill his fiancée. One of the central scientist's colleagues is a very attractive young woman who has designs on him. He is painfully shy. One night he nearly tells her his feelings but can't go through with it. As she walks away, she is struck by a car and left in a coma. The plot then evolves around his attempts to enter her dream state and become a part of her consciousness. He is able to be with her and carry on discourse. Of course, there is a kicker. Lesson learned.

This episode does sport two pluses

In Farentino's sweater 👍

And I think it's better the second time around. This season 2 episode 5 offering was the one that got me hooked on the 1995 version of Outer Limits. A feast for the emotions, it tells the story of love lost and found again in cyberspace. But things are not quite as they appear. Debrah Farentino is the extremely attractive female lead and Mark Hamill as her would-be lover makes this a must see for Star Wars fans. But as usual his acting is pretty awful especially at the end. Oh well, 9 stars instead of 10 isn't bad.
