I'll second that. I do enjoy the mid-90's to 2002 Outer Limits and there was some amazingly written stories, in fact I plan a rewatch sometime. Buy yeah the original Outer Limits were in a class of their own. I hadn't thought of the original as noir like, but now that you mention it you're right. It's like bleak, b&w noirish, no hope sci fi that made the original series so great. That and the opening title sequence! I have the original Outer Limits on DVD and need to rewatch that too.
Oh, I like your idea for a reboot of the original Outer Limits.
