Threshold 1x01 & 1x02: "Trees Made of Glass"
Threshold is upon us -- and so far, I like what I see. It's no secret that I'm a big Brannon Braga fan*, and I've always been impressed with Brent Spiner too; it looks like this series will make good use of both. What I found surprising was that Spiner wasn't the main character. It would have been easy for the show to rely on his star power, but instead he's just one of six interesting characters.
The math wasn't perfect, and the biology was absurd (triple helix?), but I can put up with that for a good story. This story was good. I look forward to seeing where it goes -- and I hope the writers aren't bluffing about having it generally planned out for a few seasons. We've learned from Chris Carter what happens when you play this kind of show by ear. What did you guys think? * I say this with no reservations and no apologies. Let the flame party begin!
