Something's in the water and it is'nt limescale

Advantages: Fantastic performance by William Fitchner
Disadvantages: Slooooow to start

Invasion is a series penned by the scriptwriter behind the acclaimed American Gothic and is set in and around the small coastal Floridian town of Homestead, on the borders of the everglades national park. The series has a number of recurring characters, but centers about the awkwardly-extended family comprised of latino Park ranger Russell (Ed Cibrian) and his new wife Larkin (Lisa Sheridan), a local news reporter. They share custody of Russell's ...
...new and disturbing. Invasion rewards your initial investment and by the end of what may very well be the only such season as some executive made the idiotic decision to put it on at a time borderlining Lost, it builds to a thrilling climax that also manages to open additional plotlines that ask even more enduring questions. Acting is uniformly high, but the highest accolade goes unreservedly to Fitchner for his performance as Tom Underlay, the singlemost ...

On the Starship Andromeda

Advantages: Ver enjoyable
Disadvantages: Kevin Sorbo was hotter as Hercules

...television show was of course Andromeda and as I now have a lovefilm membership I can watch whatever I want! A couple of months ago I received the first DVD of Andromeda season 1 and I have to say that I was disappointed. It turns out that I'm not in love with Kevin Sorbo so much as Hercules. But I got over my initial disappointment (with some help from the extremely sexy Keith Hamilton Cobb) and found out that there is much more to this show than ...
...it's set in. Andromeda is set thousands of years into the future. Humans can now travel throughout space and interact with other races from other planets. Not only are there other races but there are also different types of humans, like the Nietzschean's who are homo sapiens but faster, stronger and more resistant to illness than humans due to genetic modification.

The Original but not the best

Advantages: Retro Galactica
Disadvantages: uhm Retro Galactica

...get attacked and only one battlestar (a warship) called Galactica is left in the whole fleet. The Cylons also attack all the human worlds meaning. The survivors are then left struggling and form a fleet of ships and flee into exile in search of the planet Earth, where the 13th tribe settled. The first 10 episodes keep to the plot, with state of the art special effects for TV at the time. The series ran out of money so special effects or costumes ...
...becomes more and more absurd towards the end of the series in an effort to keep going without backing. There are no special features at all on this other than still photos. It is a basic DVD transfer, which for me is all I want. The main Character of the series are: Captain Apollo - Richard Hatch Starbuck - Dirk Benedict Lorne Green - Commander Adama The episodes in the boxset are: Saga of a Star World 1, 2, 3 The Lost Planet of the Gods ...
