When was the last time Sci Fi was successful on a main network?
Do mainstream audiences know Spiner? I dont think he is much of a Draw.
and....
(bet everyone guesses this one)

Braga.

This show will be generic, no character development (he doesnt like story arcs)and probably have every Sci Fi cliche in the book.


I love Sci Fi but with Bragas name on it, I wont even give it a chance and I have a feeling most people who know he brought down the franchise we love, will not watch either.

Wow, what an all-star cast | Report this post to moderator

Brent Spiner, Charles S. Dutton and Carla Gugino. The biggest thing Dutton has ever done is "Alien 3", and let's not forget his short-lived sitcom "Roc."

As for Carla Gugino, she was "Karen Sisco" for all of 10 episodes...and don't forget her work on the unforgettable "Spy Kids" movies.

That's the kind of cast that's going to make me watch this show? Let alone the premise and the creator/producer? I think not. Spiner's probably the biggest name on that list with his body of STAR TREK work alone, and even that's not enough to make me watch.

I'll be saving my pennies for the STAR TREK DVDs, thank you very much. Time to go back into mid-'70s "No Trek" mode.

Will the pilot even make it to air? Most pilots do not make it to TV ever. Is there already an agreement to air this as a TV movie and then option the series?

Of course if season 5 comes around and the pilot flops, at least Braga could come back and help out on season 5.

I'll give it three episodes, if THRESHOLD hasn't nabbed me by three eps, then Im done.

The really sad thing will be if this show is just extremely UBER popular, then all our feelings about Brannon would have been wrong...that would suck...

Man, Spiner is -not- aging well.

In fact, of the cast, only Stewart seems to be bearing up well under the years.

I mean, I suppose Sirtis looks "good", but it's so clearly stretched and plastic that it's almost worse than seeing Riker.

I'll be glad to see Brent back in action again. He did a great job distinguishing himself as Arik Soong. Can't wait to see what he'll be doing in Threshold.
