Threshold: Trees Made of Glass Review

[ivanoffw]

I enjoyed the bit of poetry.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGZZZOMG!!!!111!!­1one!!!11!

...

omg I thought I was the only person on earth who'd ever even *heard* of this show. I'm one of the few derivative writers who has an available work in this fandom (you can search zeropoint68 at blogspot(dot)com if you're anywhere near remotely interested in Threshold fanfic - the piece is called "Mercy and Justice").

[LordNifty]

Why wasn't Andrew J Talon thanked for his support? For all I know, Talon is SFDebris, so I am just asking.

[mitmfan]

@LordNifty He was--at about 45 seconds in. Also, unless you're Andrew J Talon (or have had contact with him), how do you know he requested it?

(If there's a note Chuck usually makes saying "Thank you for your support" or something like that, then I don't think it's that big of a deal Chuck omitted it.)

[LordNifty]

@mitmfan

I figured that Talon requested it because the first video said "A Request By Andrew J Talon". I just noticed that the "Thank you for your support" was missing, was tempted to make a smart-aleck response, but decided to simply ask out of idle curiousity.

I must say, I was wary seeing that you were doing a review of Threshold. I was very pleased, though, to see that you gave this a favorable review ^_^ I personally loved this series, and was very sad that it didn't go for longer.

[swiftkillz]

i have read about it but never got around to seeing it

[ensignbeedrill]

Oooh, I really liked Threshold.

[bradwolf07]

I saw this show before...I didn't know it was Brannon Braga's project...now it makes a bit more sense

[Crickett2814]

Not gonna lie, never heard of this show before.

[PG19871230]

@Crickett2814

Now you have. No excuse for not watching it.

[ZoidbergCZ]

I am a little surprised- Ramsay taking the underwear, watching pin-ups on his computer - and not a single Tyrion joke?

[sparton1199]

lol at the, "where people like you are aloud free rein"

dont you understand sfdebris? people like that guy dont have free rein, THEY ARE THE LAW.

an alien invastion sounds nice right about now...

[oEQjet]

now this is a good review, It's not a bad show so you're not ranting, and you're putting your own spin on the... err... character.

[jcrebel18]

If you're on a Brent Spiner run: Is Independence Day also on the list of reviews? ;)

[willymcguire]

@jcrebel18 Independence Day is a fun summer movie with lots of action, but I'm not certain a review would be be all that interesting. Of course he could simply run through his IMDB and review every single movie and TV series that fits within his demographic.

[sparton1199]

I once had a tree made of glass, but i lost it......get it?

[butchdeadlift10]

Great, brent spiner is playing my uncle

[Rocketboy1313]

I never got into "Threshold". It looked like it would be canceled before it went anywhere.

[SerPinkKnight]

I only watched this one review and I already want that asshole captain to be killed painfully.

[Redrally]

I really enjoyed this show when it aired, although I didn't realise at the time how hokey it was. I was genuinely sad when it got cancelled...

[bah21]

Ah, Threshold, I remember this show. I rather enjoyed it, and was sad to see it go. I remember it came out around the same time as Invasion and Surface, which probably didn't help it. But Threshold was definitely my favorite of the 3 shows.

[ProphetTenebrae]

I remember Threshold - it was part of a trifecta of short lived sci-fi shows - Invasion & Surface being the others.

It had a far better cast than it deserved as it really came off more as a police procedural.

[Perlegrus]

I really liked this show, but I'd mostly forgotten this show until now.Thx for the review. I'm gonna check it out again.

[playadominical]

i cried for 10 minutes straight after this review, i am so happy now, thank you for this beautiful gift. now i am going to watch it again and try not to tear up. this is the best day of the year so far!!!!

[playadominical]

@playadominical let my previous comment serve as warning to all nerds out there: don't let your girlfriend use your laptap and youtube account!

[PG19871230]

@playadominical

But she liked the review, didn't she?

[playadominical]

@PG19871230 highly doubtful that she made it through the first 10 seconds. but i did!

[eyallev]

I just love your reviews.

never heard about this series.

[CommissarRed]

Ah the other Threshold and by B and B too. Given the name and that this involves another bastardisation of evolution do you think Brannon had an axe to grind about the Voyager episodes reception?

[TedShatner10]

@CommissarRed Braga was one of the writers, but Berman was not involved (he hasn't been involved in anything since Enterprise tragically went under, way back in '05).

[CommissarRed]

@TedShatner10 B and B referred to Brannon Braga, not Brannon and Rick. Though I personally think given that Braga had some good ideas and stories that Rickie had a lasting negative effect on Brannon much like PTSD can often emotionally cripple a victim years after the event.

[TedShatner10]

@CommissarRed I agree with you that Ricky became more of dead hand as the franchise rolled on and Braga got tainted by the stigma, despite starting a more consistantly decent writer back in the glory days of TNG.

Rick Berman was OK to start with as well, but he should of retired from his role as producer around time Jeri Taylor and the late Michael Pillar did. Rick Berman was similar to Doctor Who's Jonathan Nathan Turner.

[Foebane72]

@CommissarRed Perhaps Braga is a Creationist, out to lambast Evolution wherever he can?

[sfdebris]

@Foebane72 Braga is an avowed atheist. He's just really bad at it.

[Lordgaraj]

@sfdebris Oh man...failing at atheism? That's worse then ruining mac and cheese.
