Post by Ron HubbardPost by shawnPost by David BPost by Ron HubbardI'm just curious; how many folks here will be watching Threshold when starts
this
Post by shawnPost by David BI'm gonna check it out.
I wonder how this show will compare with the other alien invasion
show, "Invasion"? "Invasion" certainly has a great time slot following
"Lost", while "Threshold" is on a night that gets fewer viewers. I
liked the pilot episode of "Invasion" enough to check out the show
once it gets going, but I haven't seen a pilot for "Threshold" yet.
Even so, I'll probably check it out because Carla Gugino is in it.
I've heard about the new Nighstalker show going to be on ABC but I haven't heard
about Invasion. What's it about?
You can see the schedule and get info on all of the new shows here:

It seems we have three shows about aliens coming to Earth. I wonder if
any of them will make it to a second season?
Invasion---------------
Man has searched the skies for centuries and has never come up with
conclusive evidence to prove the existence of other forms of
intelligent life. What if we have been looking in the wrong place?
What if there were other forms of intelligent life already living
among us? What if perceived natural disasters were really diversions
created to conceal clandestine alien activities?
When a small town at the edge of the Florida Everglades is threatened
by a raging hurricane, U.S. Park Ranger Russell Varon must go to great
lengths to protect the small community and his family safe. During the
storm his young daughter claims to have seen mysterious lights,
seemingly unaffected by the gale-force winds, floating near the water.
Varon dismisses the sighting, but begins to wonder if there really was
some truth to the story after his missing ex-wife turns up naked and
her memory of the storm is completely gone.
While the community begins to clean up after the storm and piece their
lives back together, Varon begins to investigate the strange
happenings as he tries to make sense of what is happening.
Surface-----------------
Surface is an action-adventure drama project from writers-directors
Josh and Jonas Pate. The network has greenlighted a pilot from the NBC
Universal Television show, which is described to be in the vein of
James Cameron's "The Abyss" and revolves around mysterious creatures
deep in the ocean. The twin brothers penned the pilot script and are
set to direct and executive produce the pilot.
The brothers, who started off in features with "The Grave" and
"Deceiver," most recently served as co-executive producers of Dick
Wolf's short-lived series for ABC, "L.A. Dragnet."
NOTE: The original title of the series was Fathom but was changed
after it came to light that the rights to the name were owned by
another company
Threshold-----------------
Threshold, from producers David Heyman, David Goyer, and Brannon
Braga, and written by Bragi Schut, revolves around a female government
contingency analyst who leads a team of scientists and military
personnel who get in contact with a mysterious alien lifeform. Blade
writer/director Goyer is on board to direct the Paramount Network TV
pilot. He also will exec produce with Heyman, producer of the Harry
Potter movies. Schut is co-exec producing with Mark Rosen.
