I wasnt all that impressed. The plot was ok and the dialogue fair. Not as good as Battlestar Galactica or the new Doctor Who or Firefly.

Oh come on now. A government team comprised of a good looking female scientist who has no life, a handsome military guy (who will surely love and save her), a wacky professor (Data of course playing the Dr. who created him again), and a guy who thinks he's a ladies man but never gets the girl. Oh and a twist. The ladies man is a horny midget.

I had high hopes and knew little specifics about the show before watching it. Now I hope it goes off the air quickly so something else with some imagination and creativity can maybe take it's place.

So I taped it and watched it. I'm always a sucker for a group investigating a mystery in some desolate area. Witness my love for Event Horizon, Alien vs. Predator and TNG's Night Terrors, which along with TNG's Genesis could be seen as a big inspiration for this series. So much of it is familiar.

I don't know if I'll stick around exactly though. I'm getting the impression that this will be like The 4400, but instead of mental powers, we'll start getting people with all sorts of X-Men abilities. It could be worth watching, but frankly I myself would only want to see a couple seasons before they wrap up the show.

And indeed I had a few questions afterwards. Namely: what are the odds that our genetic material matches up with the aliens so well that a signal would just add a bit or "unlock" all these powers that we somehow don't have access to? The first mate's line about being all connected might be a key to the bio-forming plot, because I would otherwise think that simply turning all of us into them wouldn't mean that the new aliens here would be of the same ideology.

I also had to chuckle at the covert ops guy not recognizing one of the shipmates simply because he shaved his face and then stated that fact like it was some revolutionary way of changing one's appearance. :-D

Here's why the numbers were so great for CBS... | Report this post to moderator

Threshold debuts at #2 for CBS...

I would wager that the reason for this is that there are a lot of people who realize now that Braga is partly responsible for dismantling Star Trek and they wanted to see his hoof-prints on this show out of morbid curiousity.

Remember, ENT's 'Broken Bow' premiered to 12 million viewers and was down significantly by season's end.

This may turn out to be a career killer for Charles S. Dutton.

So come on
