I'm looking into it as well, Astro. If I could get my TV fix while sitting at the keyboard, that would eliminate most of the travel for me daily.

Didn't work out that way, and the cable company (MediaOne at the time, before it sold out to Comcast) had to put it back. Strangely enough, SciFi's return was barely remarked at by the company, while their efforts to send it up to digital were trumpeted far and wide.

Why you can't build your own programming and only pay for the channels you want is beyond me! Then you could add something like Sci Fi and drop things you probably don't want, like QVC and the Golf Channel. -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Astromancer Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 20:59 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Threshold" a Promising Series Nope...do my own pillows...they took Sci-Fi off standard cable...

Those other two are kinda starting to bore me. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:] I watched the first episode of "Threshoold" last night. So far it's my favorite of the new scifi/supernatural shows. Great cast, with strong actors like Carla Gugino, Charles Dutton, Brent Spiner. They all have a presence that works in this scenario.Each actor is very strong in his/her own right, as evidenced by their fine work in other projects. That shows here. Another very strong actor is Peter Dinklage (he's the dwarf who plays the linguistics/computer expert). Dinklage's character spends all his free time at strip clubs and bars, and loves to hit on Gugino. But when called upon his knowledge and confidence are impressive. The guy's an "actor", it's obvious. I checked his bio, and he's done lots of theatre and gotten some accolades for it. Also an interesting cast member-- a guest star?--is the guy from "Lost" who was the first of the "Others" encountered. He was the one who kidnapped Claire's baby. Another creepy role for him on "Threshold". Like I said, this is a good show. Everything just seems to click with it: the music, the settings, the writing, performances. You get the sense that professionals are behind it and that they're taking it seriously. This show I could see following week after week as the alien invasion slowly reveals itself. Amazing that I'd be so positive about a project from Brannon Bragga!
