ReplyDeleteAfter only four episodes, the producers of the show has called it a season.
So far, they have featured:
title based on a story by directed by shown on
A Clean Escape John Kessel Mark Rydell August 4, 2007
The Awakening Howard Fast Michael Petroni August 11, 2007
Jerry Was a Man Robert A. Heinlein Michael Tolkin August 18, 2007
The Discarded Harlan Ellison Jonathan Frakes August 25, 2007
The stories they have featured so far are a little bit depressing. Maybe that's why the response has not been great. But the stories are, just like the originals, very very imaginative and thought-provoking. Maybe that's another reason why the response isn't so great, too. There's no sex and very little violence. Yeah, maybe that's yet another reason why response has not be great.
sigh...
can't wait for the next season !!!
