This is yet another good show that died in FOX's series killer time slot on Friday. I really loved this show and FOX did not give the makers any notice about the cancellation until all the episodes had aired, so they had no opportunity to do any kind of closure. The show ends in a terrific cliff hanger.

Here's the link to SciFi's page on the show if you don't know what it's about. It is a good show with a unique premise.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

Sounds like a good premise. I'm sure they'll have 'em on DVD before too long. Good shows like this one are generally lost on folks, sometimes it seems like tv that's "too intelligent" is not meant to survive.

I just picked up the entire series of Nowhere Man - similar to John Doe but a lot more like The Prisoner series. Great show, never did any re-airings in the US. Thankfully, 10 years later, I can finally watch the episodes I missed. I'll have to do the same with John Doe eventually.

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

I never caught this on its first run and I'm somewhat interested... anything Fox axes tends to be watchable.
