Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, the ten-episode, 20-hour miniseries Taken was one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by cable TV's Sci-Fi Network, ultimately costing 40 million dollars -- a price that proved well worth it, inasmuch as the series posted the network's highest-ever ratings. Covering a period from 1947 to the present, the story focused on three different families, each of whom was profoundly affected by extraterrestrial visitation. The Keys family was headed by WWII bomber pilot Russell Keys (Steve Burton), who spent virtually his entire adult life haunted by his "close encounter" with aliens. The Clarkes were originally represented by lonely Texas waitress Sally Clarke (Catherine Dent), who was impregnated by a charming stranger (Eric Close) who turned out to be an alien survivor of the Roswell crash. And the lives of the Crawfords were dictated by ruthless Army officer Owen Crawford (Joel Gretsch), who was determined to prove that the government had covered up the truth about Roswell by dedicating his life to tracking down all space aliens and their half-human descendants. The story was narrated by Allie Keys (Dakota Fanning), a "hybrid" child of the present day, whose story determined the outcome of the final episodes. Boasting impressive computer-generated special effects and eye-popping facial makeup, Taken was seen over a two-week period, beginning December 2, 2002, and ending on December 13. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

While on planet B96-3Q1, S-G's Jaffa crew member Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is bitten by a poisonous insect. Back on earth, Teal'c undergoes a horrifying metamorphosis--one that attracts the attention of Stargate Command colonel Maybourne (Tom McBeath), who intends to use Teal'c's DNA to create a new biological weapon. As the SG-1 team endeavor to develop a curative vaccine without Maybourne's knowledge, Teal'c escapes into the grimy city streets, where he bonds with a homeless girl named Ally (Colleen Rennison). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
