Hi, I watched the "Threshold" episode and, while I found it
entertaining enough to keep my attention, I would not say that I
thought it was similar to UFO. The fact that it was a covert
operation to keep the "alien visitation" under wraps was the only
similarity. SHADO personel were not kidnapped to work for the govt :)
That might be the U.S. spin on it. I personally would have felt
privileged to work for SHADO and they would not have had to threaten
me to keep me there. (although, like Brent Spiner, I would have
apprciated a paycheck LOL).
I did enjoy the part near the end where Brent Spiner mentions that
they haven't discussed paying them for their work. His subsequent
comments made a lot of sense as well. (I cannot recall exactly what
they were - do you?). The actors chosen were also believable in that
they weren't all beauty queens and studs which has often been the
case in other Sci-Fi channel programming.
I plan to watch the next episode to see what happens. That speaks
highly for the program since I don't normally watch TV anymore.
Thanks for the "tip" Marc! Did anyone else think it was similar to
UFO?
