Like so many sci-fi shows, Earth 2 aired in 1994 and ended up cancelled after one year on the air. While the show took some time to get going, it had the potential to be a great sci-fi show.
Triviatown is an interesting documentary about the world’s largest trivia contest. It’s worth a watch for fans of hobby documentaries and trivia buffs.
In 2000 James Cameron created the sci-fi series Dark Angel. Dark Angel follows a former female super soldier as she tries to keep her identity secret while fighting the corruption in her city. Despite being canceled after two seasons, Dark Angel was an under appreciated sci-fi series.
What if there was a portal between our world and the world of fairy tales? In the 10th Kingdom two regular humans are transported to the land of fairy tales where they must help a kingdom that is in turmoil. The 10th Kingdom is quite cheesy and is too long, but it is still an entertaining story.
Have you ever wondered what happened to Wonderland after the Alice in Wonderland books/films? Well in the TV mini-series Alice you are taken to a Wonderland 150 years after the original material. While at times the mini-series can get bogged down in too much filler, Alice is still a very solid sci-fi mini-series.
In the final season of FX’s 30 Days the energy crisis, handicap rights, animal rights, same sex parenting, gun control, and Native American rights are discussed. As a whole 30 Days ended on a good note.
In season two of 30 Days immigration, outsourcing, religion, new age medicine, abortion, and the prison system are addressed as six new people spend 30 days in the life of another American. Season two of 30 Days does a good job improving over the first season.
30 Days, a 2005 documentary/reality show, was the ultimate experiment in living a day in another person’s shoes. While the episodes of the first season can be pretty hit or miss, some episodes can really change your viewpoint of the world.
Like its’ predecessors, Captain America The Winter Soldier is another great Marvel film.
