kijanailis Only an expert in Crisis Management and the author of crisis protocols such as “Threshold” would (not) remember to do that. 😸

I know 😁 Seem like that in many tv shows

​@@taylajoseph3971 Yeah.....it's always in the script.

To be fair, she went to the church to contact the bodyguard that was there, she also expected to find a large number of people there. She had no idea that the Threshold bodyguard would attack her. And since she was at the home of that crewmen with an injured guy and no one else, she thought she was going from a not quite safe situation to a MORE safe situation.

"You are now the most important person on Earth", now take this gun and take point in raids against superhuman/alien hybrids, instead of taking an admin role.

You don´t say. That is mostly the case in TV series. If you are lucky you can see in TV series a handfull of frame shots of the authentic environment, rest is done somewhere else or in a studio. Same with me. The second episode of THE LIBRARIAN, was supposedly the NEW GLYPTOTEK in MUNICH. Now I am from there and I can tell you that was neither the real Museum nor the city of Munich.Just as an example how often this is done.

I lived in Monroe, WA for several months. It was used to film a popular TV series; I don't remember the name, but the agent from X Files was in it. Anyway, they did much the same thing

Yes I wonder why she disappeared more or less out of TV shows again

She has a bad habit of having her mouth open partly when she's not speaking. Makes her look a little ... slow.

I agree with you about Gugino, but not about the show

Z Nation....didn't see that coming 😮 But if you brought back the series (I'd Love to see that!) then an episode or 2 where a small town gets infected and has to be cleared out by a ground op would do it. Love to see it as a season 1 finale, with the 1st episode of the next season be going in

I turn's out our solar system is unique , many coincidences ,moon, jupiter ,no planets in planet 9 range , the sun , other systems dont have our 4 small planets innermost - the have maybe 4 planet 9's inside venus.

Well put; Science is something else as Science Fiction, That are two different pairs of shoes. We are talking modern Fairy Tales here. Just the terms are exchanged; the Knight became the Soldier or Agent together with a side kick, the Mage became the (often mad) Scientist and the Devils, Demons and Dragons are represented by the diverse Aliens or mad dictators with illusions of grand sceams. Shure there are approaches to a more sophisticated, science based literature. Authors like Asimov always pushed but fact is most of us love the good old Space Opera like in Threshold or in STAR WARS. But not everyone seems to get it. Those folks run around telling eveeryone they are watching SciFi a totaly useless and meaningless expression. It just shows those people don´t understand what they are talking about.

Why not. Everyone can win in the LOTTO as well. Chances are there that someone somewhen invades Earth. Take it you don´t like Science Fiction.

@@jari2018 If you haven't read it, read Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of books. He took your " unique " planetary system idea and used it in his later books in the series. He also has his characters looking for a planet from which all life eventually " migrated " outward. In his series, earth came first and no one visited but instead folks left on one way trips. Myself? I am a fan of the series STARGATE SG-1 that posits the gods of ancient Egypt weren't gods, but an alien race.

@@howardkerr8174 I was a huge fan of Asimov when I were young - Even read the pre novels about foundation like the novel about planet Aurora and the one on the nuked Earth ruled by insane priesthood . Ive seen sg1 too countless times since i put the shw on and it was my" lullaby" -after awhile i slept unlike th other shows with fast irritating clips between scens -like stargat Universe -yelling no end on suffering and sex -a stargate traversty

Brennan Braga was also writing for TNG.

SPOILER: Speaking of the writers not knowing where they are going, like the x-ray burst later in the series

gematria79 I think character development often is more important than story development and that's what this show brings.

Yes, I noted the writing getting sloppy a few episodes back. I believe it was screenwriter Ray Chandler who said "If in doubt, have two guys with guns come through the door."

the wrkiting was sloppy since the pilot. Basically its a cheap imitation of Michael Chrichton, specifically Sphere and Andromeda Strain.

Braga crew 😉

Does punctuation mean anything to you?

@@antred11 ......I would dare a bet that his answer would be a resounding NO!!

... not sure I entirely agree. She plays this character much like she played her character in the first "Night At The Museum". It's difficult to watch a story of a woman working in a "secret" federal agency and not see shades of past successful T.V. shows. Then again, I may be overlooking it because I really enjoy watching Ms. Gugino bounce around in front of the camera.

@@3DPDK Not sure you agree it turned into discount x-files? (I'd pretty much fight you on that one!) or not sure she had reverted to channeling Dana Scully by this point? (I'll take your word for it that she had done it before in her career. First I remember seeing of her here.) I never said I didn't like it, either way, but the writers clearly came to the series without enough original material/ideas to distinguish themselves as they had in the first couple episodes. 8 shows in and it was in a holding pattern already, scriptwise and artistically. Brent Spiner seemed to have given up and just sounded more and more like Data each time. Dinklage was basically directing himself in his own version of each scene, regardless of who or what the heck was going on around him (which turned out awesome sometimes, 'cause he's him), and the head guy just kept going bigger and bigger with the acting to fill in the gaps, etc. It just seemed like the ones who needed the job were trying really way too hard to make scenes work, to cover, and the ones who didn't need so much it were doing whatever they felt like or kinda phoning it in. The first couple episodes were really tight and dynamic and complexly dialogued, and by this one it was kinda schlocky. Like I said, just observing. I liked it, as TV goes, but we know how TV goes. They have a great idea and a huge pilot budget and a 96 minute script that got pored over so carefully for months, maybe somebody's pet idea for years. Then a certain number of episodes later, the writer's creative well is drying up, the studio is giving them pennies to peanuts for budget, and everyone is exhausted from working 18 hours a day. That's the beast. Still, I'd watch more, even as it was going, because it still had some great moments in each episode. If they had 2 full seasons to work out the kinks, they might have found a great groove and some killer storylines. Most sci-fi shows need that. Unfortunately, we'll never know. All I can think after that is... "At least it wasn't as tragic as Firefly getting cancelled."

@@animistchannel2983 I don't see Gillian Anderson's influences in Carla Gugino's acting. It may be there but as you say, maybe she took on Anderson's persona in earlier rolls. I don't doubt the possibility that the producers targeted X-Files as the model for this series. Truthfully, Gugino reminds me a LOT of a girl I once knew and it's difficult for me to watch her in any roll without comparing her to my memories rather than any particular acting style. That being said, I do agree that this series lost it's creative momentum after the third or forth episode. The premise of a "crisis management team" handling a first contact situation, which has a lot of potential for story variation, got lost in the CSI, FBI, etc type investigating and forensics. The ark of the series gets muddled with every episode, and it just becomes a different way to handle the same problem over and over. As for Brent Spiner; he will never outlive Data. Any roll I've seen him play is just Data acting in a movie or TV roll. Spiner put too much of himself into Data to see him as any other character. I think that's a problem many TV actors face. My biggest problem with ANY modern science fiction movie or TV series is how little the writers actually know about science. This series is no different being filled with so much KZfaq sudo-science that it just become Saturday morning cartoons for me.

I really enjoyed Fringe! Too bad that came to an end.

No, It's just a triskele. I don't think it matches any triskele used anywhere else except, maybe, by chance. The programme makers designed it for the show.

That information is classified and provided on a need-to-know basis.

Your god doesn't exist so it's impossible to take words from the fiction called bible out of context. The entire religion is a massive scam. Even if you give any credence to the fictional work not a single word in it is the words of your supposed god. They are the words of con men.

TruAnRksT , incorrect. There is God, who made all that is seen and unseen. These created things did not make themselves. Not too long ago, we knew little more of the universe than seeing our Milky Way And Andromeda. Now, in fulfillment of Bible prophecy ( an increase of knowledge ), we know the enormity...sorry, we can only guess at the enormity...of the expanding universe.

I think it’s pretty cool to anchor one of the premises in a piece of modern fiction, in a callback to a widely familiar piece of ancient fiction.
