Member Rating:  
CBS' spin on ABC's Lost for the 2005-2006 TV season was the weekly, hour-long sci-fi effort Threshold. The crash-landing of an alien spacecraft in the Atlantic Ocean prompted the government to engage the services of a crack team of specialists, who were obliged to investigate the incident and explore its possible ramifications -- all in secret, of course, lest the populace get panicky. It soon developed that the spacecraft was the vanguard for an extraterrestrial invasion -- and more ominously, the aliens' presence caused the team members to experience bizarre physical and biological reactions (it seemed that exposure to the aliens' signal had the power to reconfigure one's DNA!). The investigative team was led by über-intellectual risk analyst Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), and consisted of sardonic, witty, fiercely independent forensic microbiologist Nigel Fenway (Brent Spiner of Star Trek fame); former "special-ops" troubleshooter Cavennaugh (Brian Van Holt); politically ambitious Deputy National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock (Charles S. Dutton); pugnacious party-animal math and language expert Arthur Ramsey (Peter Dinklage); and timid, neurotic astronautical engineer Lucas Pegg (Rob Benedict). Created by Bragi F. Schut, Threshold was first telecast on September 16, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I found this series totally engrossing when it first premiered. There was another series on another channel at the same time and ultimately they both got axed, but Threshold went first and in my opinion was a superior show. Carla Gugino was great but the whole ensemble worked well together. The final episode never aired (if I remember correctly) but it's on the DVD. This is an alien conspiracy plot but it's done very well. There's not a lot worth watching on Wednesday nights so if you want an alternative this is definitely worth the watch. I wish they'd consider reviving it (instead of "V" - big snore) and this time give it a real chance.

    This was once again an awesome series that the short sigtness of CBS couldnt seem to understand how well written it was. Maybe SyFy will pick it up and see the greatness that was started.
