Storyline
Five years into the future, five Odyssey astronauts and a NASA technician are setting up NASA's latest high tech satellite just outside of Earth's orbit. The five are: Chuck Taggart - a charismatic authoritative and stoic mission commander and former ace pilot, Kurt Mendel - a likable pompous horny quip-prone British science author and NASA's special celebrity guest on the flight who actually does know a lot about science and can be brave and cunning despite claiming otherwise, Neil Taggart - Chuck's young adult son and genuine computer expert, Sarah Forbes - a popular news anchor and TV reporter who's there to make an exclusive piece about the mission, and Angela Perry - Chuck's experienced co-pilot who's father is a powerful senator. Everything is going fine until the Earth is suddenly caught on fire and then implodes for no apparent reason. This horrifying mysterious event damages the crew's shuttle, which leads to the death of the technician and also leaves Angela badly hurt and ...

A few weeks ago in the wee hours, I caught my first episode of Odyssey 5 (on the SPACE channel,Canada), and
WAS HOOKED! I didn't quite follow the storyline, but the
actors made the ep, and it has a great atmosphere. Watched another one, and have been telling folks how good
it is, only to find it's already been CANCELLED by Showtime! This afternoon, I saw the pilot episode, and
it's about the ONLY tv sci-fi that has given me goosebumps!
Is it my imagination, or when I was a kid (I'm 40+ now)
was there just MORE good science fiction available, recognized as a thinking man's (er, person's) media or
literature entertainment? You just can't seem to find any these days (Outer Limits manages it fairly often), and
when it does appear, the powers that be nix it. I just
don't get it.
Great premise, interesting characters and outstanding actors....seems like a perfect recipe to me!
