Not watching Threshold will not help you save your penney's for Trek DVDs. CBS is network TV and watching network television doesn't cost anything.

Your commentary on the cast is ridiculous. Karen Cisco was a critically acclaimed show, and Roc was not short lived, it lasted three seasons.

While it certainly didn't reap Seinfeld or Friends longevity... Roc dis last three years, not exactly "short-lived." Not to mention that the show was critically acclaimed and did a daring all-live run for a season. Dutton is a highly respected actor in his field.

As for the Spy Kids films being "unforgettable"... hardly! There were THREE films in the series. And again, Karen Sisco was a highly acclaimed show.

I think you are trying a little too hard to find everything wrong with Braga's new show.

And Your assesment of Charles Dutton is patently rediculous. Either you dont watch anything except Sci-Fi, or simply talking out of your ass.

Here's some of this man's work (besides Alien 3 and Roc):
A Time to Kill
Rudy
Menace to Society
Oz
The Sopranos
Homicide
A Man Called Hawk
(w/Avery Brooks)

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
