Just finished "Midnight on the Firing Line" and I felt it was a GREAT start to the show. The effects are VERY dated, and the make-up is classic 90's but the writing/story is fantastic! It certainy seems like a timeless program from what I've seen. Can't wait for more!
4.5/5
also, what are the movies?sigpic

Thoughts on "Soul Hunter":
another great episode. I like the writing and the setting a lot. It's gritty and intoxicatingly addictive. This episodes plot line was just as interesting as the pilot. It was paced well and had a good "Bad Guy" while pffereing a nice moral debate.

I mean, watch the space battle from "Interludes and Examinations" and tell me that CGI is dated. It's completely in a class of its own.sigpic
