UC & I DVR'd this show back when it was first on and finally watched it this past weekend. It captured my attention -- and affection -- hook, line & sinker. Krause did a great job, and I thought it was one of the best things I've seen on Sci-Fi in quite some time. But the "coming up next" stuff at every commercial really drove me nuts.

I'm surprised no one else mentioned the show. Did anybody else even see it?

I'm hoping it returns either as another mini-series or a full-blown series.

I thought it was damn-near brilliant, and I loved the fact that it strictly followed its own rules. Peter Krause and Kevin Pollak were great, and I got a kick out of the fact that someone I know, Jorge Pallo, played Ignacio, the kid who gives Krause the key.

I'm certainly hoping to see a continuation, one way or another.

This was some mind-bending original stuff. I was completely enthralled by it.

I'm dying for a follow-up. I hear it did pretty poor in the ratings though.

I thought it was very good. I'm really surprised that Peter Krause is not a bigger star than he is. He is a very good actor. Kevin Pollack is quite good at playing serious roles despite being known primarily as a comedian.

I dug the hell out of it, though thought it was a little cheap with that "The End...?" ending, ya know? Everything else was so inspired, I felt sort of cheated being left with so many threads dangling. Sure, they could always come back with another mini, but they shouldn't have just assumed they'd get the opportunity.

Wouldn't mind seeing it again sometime. Maybe if re-runs do well enough, they could get the sequel series pushed into production.

I had read somewhere that it was actually intended as a back-door pilot, so there may be a show involved eventually. I think it would make a great series.
