This starts in the UK on Sky One next week (Wednesday the 9th I think). People see a pattern and then become infected with a deadly virus? Sound like The Ring to me. Hmmm...
Anyway, Brent Spiner (Data in STNG) plays a scientist of some sort but it looks pretty good.
Anyone else planning to watch this one?

I am in the US and have been watching this for several weeks. I also watch Surface and Invasion (two other alien shows) and think this is the one I like the least....but I still like it.

It is tough to say if it will be good or not in the long run. I like it so far, but we will see where it goes. I have also been watching invasion and I would give them the same rating, it just depends where the plot goes. I have not seen surface, is it the best of the 3? I can only take so much alien sci fi so I picked these 2 out of the three, hope I didn't leave the best one  |

I think Invasion is probably the best of the three. I only like surface because I am actually getting hooked on the characters, and the "alien" as it looks like an enormous lizard, and I am a huge reptile fan. The "alien" lives in the water, but a kid found an egg, hatched it, and is raising this thing. Right now it is the size of an iguana, but I have seen the adult in the water, and it is larger than the largest whale. Just a different show over the other two is all.

Brent Spiner plays the medical doctor - former NASA microbiologist - he is wickedly caustic and I love him so much more than when he played Data ... But, then again, I'm addicted to the show already - have Tivo'ed Surface and Invasion but haven't started watcing them yet - figured I'd save them for when something else I'm watching gets axed  |

I really love THRESHOLD. I think it has the best ensemble cast, and Carla Gugino is really a strong lead. So far, I see the most potential for future story lines with THRESHOLD as well. I don't care for SURFACE much, and although I like INVASION, missing a week wouldn't kill me. So, there you have it.  |

I love Surface, too. I started a thread somewhere wondering if anyone watched it. I haven't gotten into Threshold or Invasion ... I didn't even get to watch an episode  Anyways, I like Surface for the same reasons you do  Plus, I never know what's going to happen next and what not. We have the last two episodes (if one was on last night) taped |

No, it was not on last night, so you didn't miss anything. I guess maybe I am not super thrilled with Threshold is because it was the last one I got in to, and I only started watching it because it is after Ghost Whisperer, which I really enjoy.

See now - I can't stand Ghost Whisperer  I see it as a poorer version of Medium - which I love mostly because of the true-to-life relationship with the hubby and kids And because Patricia Arquette is not outstandly beautiful and not outstandly over-the-top smart - but she is perfectly.... average. That, and that Hewitt girl irritates me for some reason... |

See, I am the opposite. I love Medium, but i think Ghost Whisperer is much better. Two episodes made me cry, which is enough for me. I have loved every episode, where Medium I could go with out, and some episodes just don't get to me like they should. I also don't like Patricia Arquette, ever since she was in A Nightmare on Elm Street when she was younger as Alice. But I do enjoy the show..... As for Jennifer Love Hewitt, she is okay, but not the best for the part....I just like the shows concept.
I hate this time of year because there are 2-4 shows a night that I watch. I can't take all the TV!!!!!

*lol* That's so true! There are of course shows that only I watch (Veronica Mars, Commander in Chief) and shows that only my husband watches (Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis - I have to watch them for work so I don't watch them while they're airing) and then there are the shows we both watch - anything CSI, Threshold, Supernatural, Cold Case, and on and on and on. It's just amazing the Tivo hasn't blown up yet - I still have last season's finale of 24 on it to watch! Hello. My name is Joanna and I'm addicted to television. Oh well, could be worse I suppose |

I don't care much for Ghost Whisperer -- to me, it's a cross between Medium and Touched by an Angel. I just don't care to watch shows that make me cry week after week after week. I do really like Medium, and like Joanna, I think Patricia Arquette is perfect for the role. Commander in Chief is good, too!

I wanted to watch Commander in Chief, but it is on the same time as House and Amazing Race. I already need to tape one and watch the other, and I don't have TiVo or DVR to do this. Still an old fashioned VCR.
I enjoy Ghost Whisperer especially when it makes me cry because it is something different than all the other shows I watch. Medium seems to be that one show I constantly forget is even on.......don't know why.

Hello! My name is Mike, and I am a television addict, as well. Here's what I usually watch: Mondays - Surface Tuesdays - Amazing Race Wednesdays - nothing really, maybe Martha's Apprentice ... but I can say I really don't like this one. Thursdays - Survivor and Apprentice ... although I haven't watch an entire season, yet  Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays - nothing really (right now, there's college football, but I'm only rooting for Penn State ) I also regularly watch Judging Amy on TNT Primetime in the daytime or something like that, and Rosanne on Nick at Night almost every night, and I admit to still watching some of the Disney Channel Shows If we had The WB like I did when I was in college, I would also be watching Charmed, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, Smallville, and Everwood  |

Hi!My name is Wendi and I am also a TV addict I tried to watch Threshold when SG1 and Atlantis were on hiatus but I just couldn't get into it However I do love to watch the following: Monday: Nothing Tuesday: NCIS and Amazing Race (NCIS isn't as good as the other two years though ) Wednesdays: Nothing Thursday: Will and Grace and CSI Las Vegas Friday: Firefly, Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis (My favorite night especially when new episodes are on  ) Saturday: Nothing Sunday: Cold Case (this show is so sad sometimes) ...and like my brother I watch TNT (mostly Law and Order and Charmed reruns though) and I do watch the Disney Channel to on occasion, I like some of the shows  . I forgot to add Firefly to my list on Fridays  I tend to pull out the DVD and watch it instead so I don't have to deal with the commercials I'll just go add that to my list now thanks Sci Fi cards for reminding me with your list |

Ok, I'll hop on this thread too. Mondays: Mostly Fox News after the kids are in bed. If that isn't interesting I'll watch (in order)The History Channel, Cops, Animal Police, or a movie if I can find a good one. Tuesdays: The Amazing Race Wednesdays: LOST Thursdays: Survivor then The Apprentice Fridays: Same as Mondays. Saturday: College football (SEC mostly) Sunday: Pro football (Jaguars by choice, anything else if I can't get our game) |

Well, around our house we record everything on the DVR and then watch without commercials.  I couldn't stand to have 'normal' TV any more... Around here we record: Mondays: Surface, CSI: Miami Tuesdays: NCIS, Supernatural Wednesdays: LOST, Invasion Thursdays: Survivor, Alias, Smallville, CSI Fridays: Firefly, Threshold, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Ghost Whisperer Saturday: Veronica Mars (research for upcoming Inkworks card set) Sunday: DVR recovery night... When we watch them all is anybody's guess. I get more TV time when there are new releases to open and sort. Ed |
