Features

By Steve Krutzler / 10:43, 17 September 2005 / People

The sci-fi drama THRESHOLD debuted with a two-hour premiere last night on CBS, coming in second in the nine o'clock timeslot in the Fast National ratings published this morning by Zap2it. The Brannon Braga-produced alien invasion series earned a 5.3/9 for CBS, following DATELINE on NBC, which took the slot with a 6.9/12.

The THRESHOLD premiere improved in its second hour against LAW & ORDER SVU, still taking second place, but moving up to a 5.6/10 vs. SVU's rerun with a 5.9/11. CBS was #2 overall on the night, averaging 5.2/9 to NBC's 6.0/11.

TNG actor Brent Spiner co-stars in THRESHOLD, co-created by David Goyer. The show also is home to former TREK writers Mike Sussman and Andre Bormanis and airs Fridays at 9p.

I think it was what you would expect having watched Voyager and Enterprise.

Techno-speak (some of it wrong...transponders, c'mon) botched medical jargon and characters written to show emotion by someone who doesn't seem to know how to express them.

The sound was good, as was the direction and shooting, but the writing was weak, the acting confused and the characters weren't engaging or interesting.

It's not a good show.
