This soundtrack has a so disillusioned tune, it fills perfectly.

@zooshipcaptain I absolutely agree! ;-)

Wow, they really liked that shot of the jaguar or cheetah or whatever getting knocked over. I think they showed that about five times or so. I saw this movie when I was around six years old, and it scared the crap out of me. I thought I dreamed it, but finally found it again. This show did come on FOX at one time, but I don't think they had much to do with its creation. I like the fact that we don't find out much here. It makes an interesting movie on its own, even though it was a pilot.

@Plotspider I noticed that, as well. ;-) Yeah, it is very interesting, but there were times when I'd (almost) have killed to know how this very movie in particular was supposed to be continued. ;-)

[Plotspider]

@BleuDeQ I suspect we were meant to find out who and why people were making robot copies of random civilians. I just loved the fact that 'father' or whoever told the hero, point blank, "it's none of your business" instead of going on a monologue. I know they did that for the pilot's sake, but it works. It messes with one's head that way.

[BleuDeQ]

@Plotspider Quite an intriguing assumption. ;-) Makes absolutely sense to me.

Like the heros of this movie, the girls I met were hearthless robots..

[BleuDeQ]

@rpcarnell Watch the end credits. ;-) This isn't even a FOX series. It's from Universal TV. That's why I've been so confused with your question... :-)

[rpcarnell]

@BleuDeQ It has something to do with the fact that Fox pulled the plug on Terminator, the series, and Firefly. I also think this never became a series at all.

[BleuDeQ]

@rpcarnell I don't have a clue but why do you believe that FOX has anything to do with its cancellation?!
