One of the better sci-fi series, 23 October 2003
Author: jboehme238 from United States

I was in my thirties when this came out. I really enjoyed it. It had a good cast. Richard Chavez, as most of you will recognize, was in "Predator". There was a lot of action and good special effects for the time. I hope it will be put out on dvd so all can enjoy.
