    At least The 4400 was nice enough to continue in book form… which apparently also ends in a cliffhanger.

      Lol, I came here to also post The 4400. It’s been a good experience, but I’ve been taking my sweet time through season 3… would hate for the watching experience to be over. I’m excited to see how the books are, though.

    “Threshold” is one show I really liked that nobody seems to have heard of. Sadly cancelled after one season before anything was resolved. Loved the twist about the motivations of the alien intruders, though.

    Currently rewatching “People of Earth”. Most amusing part for me is always the corporate office like vibe in the alien spaceship.

    And for me right now that show is Farscape. I don’t know if you can call it niche, but it certainly is not very well known where I live. And this show is frelling good. I love it! I love the story, I love the actors, I love all the costumes and puppets, the sets, the effects. It is better than most of the dren studios nowadays produce

      I loved farscape when I first watched it on an antenna, later when i watched the last season in a day and a half because netflix claimed they were removing it. I’d like to watch it again soon.

      Came here to mention Farscape! Best space opera ever made. Just ordered the bluray set. My first watch was about 15 years ago on a crappy laptop screen. I’ve heard the sound quality is improved drastically, even if the image quality not so much, it being an upscale rather than native 1080p

      I tried correcting you by spelling it correctly, but working out the syntax with the asterisks and slashes was huring my brain.

      But yes - great show.

      Also the only one where I think every cast change was an improvement.

      Trapper was just a clone of Hawk, whereas Honeycut was his own character. Henry was fun, but Potter brought real gravitas and represented a good man who was career Army - which was necessary. Burns had no redeeming characteristics at all, whereas Charles served as an antagonist while still hating the war and being a strong character and excellent surgeon.

      And the way they transformed Kilnger from a cheap side gag into a fully-fleshed out character was remarkable.

      And the decision not to cast a new regular when Radar left was inspired. We felt that hole the remainder of the series.

    Damn it, every time one of these threads pops up, I run out of NAS space.
