From the creators of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider came this weekly, 60-minute ABC adventure-fantasy series. The titular Veritas was a high-tech archeological team headed by brilliant scientist Solomon Zond (Alex Carter) and his long-estranged teenaged son Nikko (Ryan Merriman). As the two Zonds awkwardly tried to reconnect after so many years apart, they also embarked upon thrill-packed missions aimed at solving the riddles of long-dead civilizations. Helping Solomon and Nikko in their quest (and also dodging innumerable villains and mercenaries along the way) were gorgeous female computer geek Maggie (Cynthia Martells), narrow-visioned pedant Calvin (Eric Balfour) and Solomon's raffish buddy Vincent (Arnold Vosloo). Veritas: The Quest debuted January 27, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Rory (Alexis Bledel) is told that she must choose to participate in a team sport at Chilton. At the insistence of his wife, Emily (Kelly Bishop), Rory's wealthy grandfather, Richard (Edward Herrmann), offers to teach Rory golf at his very exclusive country club. Upset that Rory might prefer Emily and Richard's upper-crust lifestyle to staying at home, Rory's mom, Lorelai (Lauren Graham), has another cross to bear in the form of a brace of spoiled twin girls whose wedding is being held at Independence Inn. ~ Rovi

The goddess Discord (Meighan Desmond) hopes to form a sinister triumvirate of teenage witches. As part of the plan, the witch Haleh (Katrina Browne) worms her way into the confidence of Cesca (Jodie Rimmer), the troubled daughter of one of Hercules' friends. The rampaging Cesca not only turns against Hercules (Kevin Sorbo), but also his friend Iolaus (Michael Hurst), whom she believes to be the illicit lover of her own mother. Unless this mess can be straightened out, several innocent characters (guess who?) will be sentenced to burn for witchcraft. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After her nervous breakdown, Diane (Kim Delaney) agrees to seek out professional help. Geri Turner (Debra Christofferson), the "kinky" assistant whom Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) had transferred from the department, is the main suspect in a hanging which may have resulted from a session of rough sex. A murder at a construction site reveals a larger conspiracy. And Martinez (Nicholas Turturro) draws closer to the convalescing Gina (Lourdes Benedicto). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The third-season Babylon 5 saga "Point of No Return" arrived at a cliffhanger conclusion with its 22nd installment, "Z'Ha'Dum." Melissa Gilbert guest-stars as Anna, Captain Sheridan's wife, whom he believed was killed five years earlier. Against his initial protest, Anna guides Sheridan to Z'ha'dum, the homeworld of the dreaded Shadows, ostensibly to settle the hostilities that have dominated the past 21 or so episodes. In other developments, Londo is informed of the fruits of his ruthless political jockeying. The episode ends with a disturbing development, indicating that the troubles between B5 and the Shadows are far from over. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, "Z'Ha'Dum" was first broadcast in England on September 22, 1996; alas, the series' American fans would have to wait until the week of October 28. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

- 1995
Ray DiSalvo (Jay Acovone), a friend of Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) who is currently in prison, offers Bobby new information on an unsolved cop-killing -- a case previously handled by the contentious Det. Roberts (Michael Harney). While investigating a multiple shooting within a black family, Fancy (James McDaniel) and Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) suspect that the self-confessed gunman isn't telling the whole truth. And Medavoy (Gordon Clapp) looks into an assault charge surrounding the "accidental" injury of an actor in a staged fight. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1995
First telecast July 23, 1995, "I, Robot" is one of a handful of "new" Outer Limits episodes based on stories filmed during the original 1960s series (in this case, the earlier version aired on November 14, 1964). The central character is a robot named Adam, played by Jake McKinnon, with voice supplied by John Novak. Placed on trial for killing his creator, Adam will be destroyed unless the defense can prove that the robot possesses true humanity. Leonard Nimoy stars as Thurman Cutler, the aging attorney coaxed out of retirement to save Adam, while "I, Robot" itself was directed by Nimoy's son, Adam Nimoy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1995
Lyta Alexander (Patricia Tallman), B5's first telepath, makes another return visit, this time at the invitation of Koth. Having spent a great deal of time on the Vorlon homeworld, Lyta has enjoyed a resurgence of health and vitality. But for every bit of good news, there's a bit of bad --- especially for Brother Edward (Brad Dourif), who has been experienced flashbacks to a possible previous life as a murderer. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, "Passing Through Gethsemane" first aired during the week of November 27, 1995. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

- 1993
Returning from a three-day conference, Picard, Troi, Data, and LaForge find the Enterprise in a state of suspended animation. Likewise frozen in time is a Romulan Warbird, locked in a deadly battle with the Enterprise. The returnees must figure out a way to re-mobilize the two starships without rekindling their battle, which of course would mean total destruction for the rest of the Enterprise crew. Directed by Leonard Nimoy's son Adam, "Timescape" was written by Brannon Braga, and was originally telecast June 19, 1993. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1992
The phrase "second childhood" takes a bizarre turn in this episode, which first aired November 7, 1992. As a result of a freak transformer mishap, Picard, Ro, Guinan, and Keiko are transformed into 12-year-old children. The youngsters' dilemma may prove beneficial in the long run when the Enterprise is captured by Ferengi raiders. The child actors chosen to portray the younger Picard and his associates so closely resemble their older counterparts that the effect is downright uncanny. Scripted by Alison Hock from a story by Ward Dru Botsford, Diana Dru Botsford, and Michael Piller, "Rascals" was directed by Adam Nimoy, son of Leonard Nimoy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
