It’s really not bad, much better than I would have expected from a mini-series on the Bermuda Triangle on the Sci-fi network.
I’m rather enjoying it. Very X-files, though with a hint of “The day after tomorrow” to come, I guess.
I keep wondering if this isn’t going to tie into the Phildephia experiment somehow. In any case, it look like.
The Navy is going to almost destory the world. At least it’s original. The CIA as a bad guy is getting cliche by now.
The thing with the planes and the little girl was freaky.
I’ve seen both episodes so far. I thought about starting a thread but, like you, I don’t have much to really say about it. That brunette woman (on the team) is smokin’ hot, though.
I enjoyed the first night, in spite of the unoriginal story line. The second night I thought was crashingly dull. I’ll stay for the end mainly because, as mstay said, Catherine Bell is beautiful.
I’ve been watching it. Its OK. Not GREAT, but watchable. Much better than the crap the Sci Fi channel usually makes!
I’m pretty impressed with it. Now, if someone could just explain the paradox with the little girl on the plane I’d be happy. I can’t figure out how she aged 50 years and lived while in the bathroom but everyone else on the plane disappeared, presumably having died 50 years in the past when the plane went through the wormhole? How did she survive? And why did she age 50 years? If she simply survived, it seems that she would have still been 6 years old.
Other than that, I’m really enjoying Meno’s (Lou Diamond Phillips) storyline and the bit with the bridge disappearing was downright spooky.
I think the wormhole didn’t send the plane back in time so much as it messed with the flow of time (somehow) to quickly age the plane fifty or sixty years. The little girl was only in the airpocket a few hours, but aged several decades during that time. I don’t think the temporal weirdness makes a lot of sense, it’s just a bunch of spooky things that Singer, Devlin, and O’Bannon dreamed up. Still I like the idea thatit’s our present day experimentation with the exotic matter that’s caused all the legendary triangle phenomena going back through history. I wonder if they’ll explain where the exotic matter came from.
Either that or The US Navy is a lot older then they’ve been putting on and have been doing a lot of wierd stuff for the last 500 years.
This is bugging me, though:
The little girl survivor’s grandfather just happens to be one of the project’s founders?
That’s stretching credulity a bit.
Looks like you nailed that one.
Just an oddity, but a lot of hype for the Bermuda Triangle was generated back in the 1970’s by the book The Bermuda Triangle by Charles Berlitz (yes, he of the language books). Berlitz later co-wrote a book on The Philadelphia Experiment.
So Charles Berlitz is behind all of it…
That bugged me too. It just seemed a little too convienent.
