Perversions of Science!

Guess it’s anthology week on Dino Drac After Dark!

I recently gushed about some of my fave episodes from Tales from the Darkside and The Outer Limits, which got me to thinking about other anthology series episodes that used to rule my world.

The well ran deeper than I’d remembered! For instance, did any of you watch Perversions of Science? It ran on HBO in the late ‘90s, and though I don’t remember this part, Wikipedia says that it was directly spun from Tales from the Crypt. (Course, for this show, we traded the Crypt Keeper for a foxy robot.)

I literally only remember one episode, which I happened upon accidentally back in ‘97. Fortunately for me, it appears to be the only Perversions of Science episode that people seriously liked!

I don’t want to spoil what happens in The Exile, though you’ll probably be able to guess the ending from a mile away. I will tell you that it’s set in the future, where criminals are dumped in the past.

(Also note that the episode stars Jeffrey Combs of Re-Animator fame, and David Warner of “guy who mutated Tokka and Rahzar” fame. Ron Perlman, too!)

Enjoy! Cheesy as hell, but there’s a reason I’ve remembered it for 20 years.
