Groundbreaking In Some Ways

As a "Stargate: SG1" fan, I was intrigued by this series (of course). After all, anyone who respects Amanda Tapping had to be. As mentioned in the Trivia section, this was the very first TV series in which Red One digital cameras were used. For the era, they were the highest resolution cameras which wete also small. This combination led to dozens of films and TV series using them. In the following years, they have progressed enormously, which is typical when dealing with most computer hardware (which these were). Basically, they became more powerful juxtaposed with a smaller camera. No need for film and emulsion when a chip can be used instead. Please excuse the digression. Besides the SyFy channel, it was immediately available on the Internet. Ms. Tapping along with several key crew members from "Stargate SG1 and it's spinoff series joined her. Some of the actors as well. I really liked this show. Ironically, when you watch today, it appears almost like "Pre-vis" video used to make feature films. Regardless, this is a unique show. You must excuse the overzealous antagonists. It is an original idea which Ms. Tapping spawned into a wonderful show. I bought all 4 seasons when it became available on Amazon Video. I watch it occasionally, and I always like it. A must see for all fans of the "Stargate" series and science fiction, in general.
