[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 2607269, member: 4779"] I never watched Point Pleasant so I can't compare to that but I did watch a many eps of Blind Justice, which wasn't great. I, too, like Invasion the best of the 3 Lost clones. It simply has the best characters. The problem for me is that I really like concept shows (not just fantasy/science fiction genre) and I enjoy the fact that the networks are actually giving this stuff a chance. It ain't Farscape, B5, Firefly or even close but I'll keep watching until it starts to bore me. Doesn't mean all 3 will keep me aboard for an entire season but TiVo allows me to watch whenever the mood strikes so even if it ain't great I'm always in the mood for a new story at the touch of a button. The funny thing? I really *want* to like Threshold. I like all the principle actors (maybe not their characters), especially Spiner and Gugino (who I've had a thing for since Spy Kids). Dutton is always solid and brings power to his roles. Haven't seen it hit home so far but he's got talent. The trick will be in the writing. I did come to one conclusion after thinking about the pilot - David Goyer needs to stick to screenwriting and writing in general and stay away from directing. I just don't like his style. I liked Blady Trinity in spite of his direction (Blade II was far superior) and the same may go for Threshold. Joss Whedon he ain't, as a director. Maybe he just needs more practice or just to slow down and concentrate on one project that he really loves. Look at his [URL=http://imdb.com/name/nm0333060/]imdb page[/URL] and look at all the genre work he is doing right now. I know he's the hot writer at the moment and he's riding a high wave of popularity but there is such a thing as burnout and overwork - as a comparison I'll point to Season 7 of Buffy. Joss was just working on too many shows at once - one had to suffer and it did while the other 2 thrived. And that Braga is writing for this show doesn't turn me off to it. If it was Berman, it would. Braga had some great shows written early on in his Trek career. Yeah, his later work reeked but you let anyone run free with a franchise lead by a fool and Voyager happens. :) [/QUOTE]
