Surface



 First off I know...bad quality picture but it's honestly the only one I could find. Secondly, I figured I'd talk about a television show today since I did say I'd talk more about those instead of just movies.                 

I sort of doubt you guys will know about Surface as it was only on for one season and then was canceled... If I could un-cancel one show it would be this one. I thought it had so much potential and it was so unique for it's time. Basically the plot of Surface was that there were these deep sea creatures that were now being awakened some how and were causing all sorts of global environmental issues and other issues. From, misplacing submarines thousands of miles off course, to increasing bad weather to even eating helicopters and other ships. The show then follows various people. You have a kid who found an egg of one of the creatures and is raising it and then becomes infused with it himself and he starts to become one of them, a man who's brother was eaten by one who vows to get revenge and to know what's happening, and a scientist who saw their breeding grounds in a submarine and wants to study them. The show then spirals into many directions at once; government censorship, threat of natural disaster, and of course the mutating kid.                                 

All I can say is, this was a great show that was canceled unfairly and if you see this online somewhere on in a store, I think it's worth it.

The best shows do get cancelled. America is ridiculous.

yeah really! all the really good shows seem to get canceled early.... neilson family ratings are completely off base imo. anyways this looks like a good show. ill have to search around to find it. did they atleast give them time to end it or does it just drop in the middle of something?

I'd really like to see it, but is it gonna be one of those things where it cliffhangs after the first season with no hope of ever knowing the answers? What I mean is, is there some form of plot resolution?

Ares said...

Ill have to give this a watch. I immediately thought of firefly too !!

Unfortunately guys it pretty much ends in a cliff hanger... I mean they try and tie some things up but in ends up asking more questions and then they throw in things just for confusion sake. If they had a chance I feel it could have all been tied together quite nicely eventually.
