...Although "Star Trek" was an interesting take on the times, in retrospect most episodes strike me as preachy morality plays. "Outer Limits" (and "Arrival") much less so regarding the preachy part. And by "cerebral" I mean to suggest some real-time thinking is required to best enjoy "Arrival". I wonder if the current zeitgeist properly supports mainstream entertainment requiring thought as opposed to mindless, visceral, gut thumping action and violence.
