Hope the reboot deep sixes the stupid silly sh__ the TV show did in the '60's. What ST did to build the genre in this timeframe, this crap almost destroyed.

I think it will. Something tells me there will not be any Space Hippies or talking vegetables along with the Pedophile in this version.

One thing I like about The Expanse is the Mormons. They are building an huge honking ship to leave the solar system. Hell, I would join the LDS just for the reason alone..

I found the expanse and watched a few episodes, enjoyable. I did only find out about it from reading this forum.

Damn shame we can't talk them into taking the Muslims with them.

A new science fiction series, The Crossing, debuted on ABC last night.

From Wikipedia:

Quote

The Crossing is an American science fiction thriller series that airs on ABC. The series debuted on April 2, 2018. On March 20, 2018, ABC released the pilot episode on their website. The series is filmed in British Columbia, Canada.

Refugees fleeing a war start showing up to seek asylum in an American townâ€”but the refugees claim to be from America, 180 years in the future. Moreover, at least one of the refugees exhibits apparently superhuman powers that make her a threat.

Watch the pilot episode online.

Sounds like a plot rehash, there was something similar on the off channels within the past
two or three years. In the older hash, people came back in time to escape something, and
later enforcers came back to get em. Can't remember the name to the thing.

Oh! Monday's ratings for the pilot were adjusted downward today.

I thought the exact same thing seeing the previews. Especially all the people coming ashore from some time travel incident. I could swear up and down I saw this recently in another show.

Sounds a little like the Terminator plot.

Not that it matters. Everything you want to write about his been done before in one form or another.

I recorded it and watched it a few minutes ago,and I think there is a chance it might be enjoyable. For ME,it all depends on if they keep it semi-plausible,or go all cartoonish with it.

At least some elements of BattleStar Galactica have to be in this. Since they are refugees fleeing a war, eventually elements of that war have to follow them to America somehow.

I might give it a try eventually.

I'm watching it on Dish now. Interesting so far.
