Odyssey 5 on Sky
I hear Odyssey 5 is to show on Sky One from October 2nd at 9pm. Ive heard very good things about this show, which is kind of the spiritual successor to the Xfiles, but with more of a scifi edge. The pilot is supposed to be one of the best in years.
Anyone else looking forward to it?

OK heres the idea, a bunch of astronauts watch earth blow up from space. A mysterious alien stranger explains this has happened to lots of planets in the galaxy and noone knows why, he takes them back 5 years in time, and tells them to find out what causes it and stop it!
Thing is he doest take their boddies back, just their personalities, and drops them in their bodies of 5 years ago, so a young astronaut of 22 finds himself back at school etc.
Initial episodes suggests sentient computer programs and strange synthetic people may be to blame.
This gives it a sort of 'quantum leap meets xfiles' feel, that do?

Staring Robocop and Christopher Goraham from Popular (he played Harrison). Oh and Tom Neville (well manicured man) as the 'Seeker'.

okay - totally missed this as it clashes with Faking it (oh and i didn't know about it) but it sounds really cool. Anyone know if the pilot is being repeated before next week?

I watched the pilot last week & I thought it was kinda interesting.
It's not the most original idea ever, I grant you, but it was well executed.
I'm gonna keep an eye on it to see if it gets any better or worse. I mean, what else have I got to do with my time...

I have actually managed to watch all of Season 1 of Odyssey 5 & can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed all but one of the episodes.
It could have been a very jaded & well trodden plot line with the 'people travel back in time to save the Earth' but I feel that it has been very well done with the twists & plot curve-balls which get thrown up as the season progresses.
I'm already looking forward to January when Season 2 starts in the US
