A few weeks ago in the wee hours, I caught my first episode of Odyssey 5 (on the SPACE channel,Canada), and
WAS HOOKED! I didn't quite follow the storyline, but the
actors made the ep, and it has a great atmosphere. Watched another one, and have been telling folks how good
it is, only to find it's already been CANCELLED by Showtime! This afternoon, I saw the pilot episode, and
it's about the ONLY tv sci-fi that has given me goosebumps!
Is it my imagination, or when I was a kid (I'm 40+ now)
was there just MORE good science fiction available, recognized as a thinking man's (er, person's) media or
literature entertainment? You just can't seem to find any these days (Outer Limits manages it fairly often), and
when it does appear, the powers that be nix it. I just
don't get it.
Great premise, interesting characters and outstanding actors....seems like a perfect recipe to me!
