I really, REALLY loved this show, and not just because Jeri Ryan was in it. I don't understand why it only got one series. Maybe US networks can't handle intelligent sci-fi. If it had been on the BBC, you knwo they would have made at least 5 series.
Anyhoo, I was wondering if anyone had heard of a DVD release for the series. Anybody?

It was a rip off of the X-files, but not as poorly conceived as this one: The Burning Zone. Remember how the ads would end with the shot zooming in on the Z in Zone and hold there? Like they had one-upped The X-files, because Z is more intense than X (they actually had a voice over to that effect). And then, when it aired, the show was unwatchable!

I enjoyed it a whole lot because of the way they tried to fit it all into the historical context with the various different events -- plus they stayed focused on the aliens the whole way through. A little derivative admittedly, but I enjoyed it -- it actually got me interested in the X-Files.
J.T.Walsh was really great, but dang, I never knew that was Jeri Ryan. Weird.
