Product Description: THRESHOLD is a suspenseful drama about a team of experts who are assembled when the U.S. Navy makes a chilling discovery: an extra terrestrial craft has landed in the mid-Atlantic ocean. Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino) is a government contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios. In a single instant her life changes when one of those plans--THRESHOLD--is activated by Deputy National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock (Charles S. Dutton). Armed only with her hypothetical strategy to address the appearance of aliens on earth Caffrey now finds herself thrust in the midst of a global crisis. She hand-picks a team of eclectic specialists to prepare for first contact: Dr. Nigel Fenway (Brent Spiner) a disillusioned NASA microbiologist; Lucas Pegg (Rob Benedict) a brilliant but neurotic physicist; Arthur Ramsey (Peter Dinklage) an expert in languages and mathematics; and Cavennaugh (Brian Van Holt) a highly trained covert operative with a mysterious past.

4 Extra Episodes I really loved this show when it ran. The commentary track is done for the pilot and its interesting to hear what they had in mind for following years that never played. It was great to see the 4 that never aired. I sincerly hope that they bring back this kind of sci-fi to TV.
good sci-fi This is a well made sci-fi drama. I enjoyed both the characters and the premise of the shows. It's a shame that the series did not run longer.
I was left wanting more This series starts with a very interesting premise... aliens have sent a signal to earth that changes human DNA into their own-- creating aliens out of us. I thought the first show was the best one, but the rest of the series is entertaining and continues building on the original premise. I really enjoy the characters... a good mix of personalities. The writers set up mysteries to be uncovered as the show progressed. Unfortunately, this show was cancelled after the first season, so many questions were left unanswered.
So Sad That This Is All We Have Shame on CBS for jerking this one around and cancelling it so quickly. Right from the first episode this was one of the most intelligent, gripping SciFi series ever broadcast. Check it out, for the 14 glorious episodes that exist and pray for a spin-off novel or book.
Ahead of it's Time I really enjoyed this series, and the extras made me wish the series had never been cancelled. It sounds like season 2 and 3 could hve been truly thrilling. It's intelligent, original, yet accesible science fiction, that tried to introduce lots of new elements into TV sci-fi. If you're tired of "reality" TV, try this out. It's a very enjoyable 9+ hours of viewing.
