And last Friday another interesting series premiered on US Tv, Threshold. With Bones premiering earlier this week this is the second show that I never heard of until Wobag mentioned them to me, and just as Bones this new series certainly didn’t disappoint.

Threshold is the code name of a worst case contingency plan, which deals with alien contact. When an extra-terrestrial, for lack of better words, piece of Christmas decoration lands in the mid-Atlantic Ocean the U.S. Navy assembles a team of experts to investigate. When they arrive at the vessel that was near the location of the landing site, they find a big part of the crew missing and the rest seems to be dead and horribly disfigured… except one. The survivor tells them all he knows about what happened to him and the rest of the crew, but when 3 people of the expert team watch a video that one of the sailors made of the alien craft they are affected in someway and start to bleed…. Have they also been affected by the alien device, just by watching a video of it? Shamefully time to investigate is something don’t have, as a submarine is closing on their position, so they have to destroy all evidence. When the ship is being evacuated the only survivor escapes and after suffering some major gunshot wounds, jumps into sea where a certain death awaits him, or does it?

When watching the first two episodes of this new series I was so happy that it was a double epper as a cliffhanger at that point would have been so totally mean. The first two episodes really left a good impression with me, somewhat of a mix between Regenesis, the 4400 & Stargate SG-1, which I all loved to start with. The series has an interesting mix of actors which also includes our favorite android – Data – now making an appearance as the medical expert. The first two eps certainly were full with unexpected wrists and turns, keeping you on the edge of your seat at all times. Certainly a series I’ll keep my eyes on for the coming weeks.
