Several different people, from a young boy to a bathyspereist, discover a new (?) form of sea life, which is taking over the land...
"Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the Earth? Naval officers in the South Antarctic Sea, a family in San Diego, the Oceanographic Institute in Monterey, and fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico are about to find out. The organisms are beautiful, but are these innocent creatures more than what they seem? Embark on this unfathomable journey to discover what might be lurking just below the surface."

An "elite team" of government/scientist types confirm the existance of intelligent alien life, and must decide what to do with it... To make things more urgent, it seems to be altering their DNA...
"In the middle of the ocean, a cargo freighter makes a chilling discovery: an extraterrestrial craft has landed on earth. Enter Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), recruited to await the planet's first contact, along with a carefully assembled team made up of a brilliant physicist with strong religious beliefs, a language and communications expert and a highly trained covert operative. Together they implement the long-gestating Operation: Threshold, charged with finding out the purpose of the landing and the fate of the ship's crew, and preparing for the worst-case scenario of an alien invasion."

Surface, Threshold, Invasion and Prison Break will all get watches from me.
Along with Everybody Hates Chris.
I have little hope for any of them.
I think my tv viewing this season will be the Wed 9pm slot with both Lost (if the paces picks up) and Veronica Mars. Gilmore Girls and Amazing Race by force of habit. Survivor because I like it for the game aspect. Family Guy. I might give Smallville a third or fourth look with James Marsters joining the cast. And JLU and South Park whenever they decide to be new.

The DVD era has helped me to resist wasting time on new shows, as I can just wait and watch the whole first season next summer if I hear good things about them. The only recent new shows that I have watched as they aired are Lost, the Office and Battlestar Galactica.
Looks like my television viewing, other than sports, will be limited to Amazing Race, Lost, Office and Survivor. I actually think of the reality tv I watch as sports also, in that it is a game and finding out who "wins" each week is an important aspect of enjoying and experiencing the show. So I don't rent reality tv on DVD, although I have been tempted by the first couple seasons of Amazing Race, since I missed them when it aired.

"Surface" still sounded better, when it was known as "Fathom". Oh well.
The pilot was filmed in CA, while the show is apparently being filmed in Wilmington, NC. I know NC waters. If something was coming up from the depths, you'd never see it
More info on that series HERE . There is one scene where 2 boys bring an "egg" home and put in in an aquarium. I had to chuckle, because I did the same thing, on our last beach trip. Alas, the skate egg had already hatched.

No, I can't say that I have.
Actually, jibes at dumb PR blurbs aside, this season looks a lot better than last season. 2004-2005 was a horridly dry season that made me want to cry. I can already see a couple of shows that'll get a look from me.
Likely shows are:
Invasion
Supernatural
Veronica Mars (yeah, I know, not new, but the move to Wednesdays makes it more available to me)
Add in the ones I already watch:
Smallville
Medium
SG1
Atlantis
BSG
and my TV schedule is plenty full. Without the SciFi break, I'd have to cull some.

I practically don't watch any shows at all, but I'm going to be giving Threshold, Supernatural, Surface, Night Stalker and Invasion a shot this fall. I expect by mid-October, I'll only be watching one of those, sadly. That actually wouldn't be such a bad thing; watching five shows regularly would be a bit much, and I do know that either a) I won't end up liking some of those, or b) they'll be cancelled anyway. I'm hoping that at least one of those five turns out to be something I can enjoy watching for a few years.
I'll also probably be watching Commander-in-Chief, although it's not genre. My wife is really interested in it, and I told her I'd watch it with her. Assuming it doesn't conflict with any of those other shows, of course!
I would be tempted to do as I usually do and ignore TV entirely, and just watch the shows later on DVD, but I got a bit burned by Miracles, which was on ABC what: three years ago? It got surreptitiously cancelled after the network practicaly sabotaged any chance of success, but I loved it. It wasn't released on DVD for a long time; only just now finally coming out.

I'm waiting for My Name is Earl. That one's going to be hillairous.
