Anything is possible

Odyssey 5 is my favorite sci-fi show of all time. It is like watching the X-Files, the Matrix, Quantum Leap, and Star Trek all at the same time. I believe it is one of the first shows to have the same realism that the Matrix had, you really believe that it is possible.

The plot: (you learn the following in the first 30 minutes) There are astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Odyssey, when they see the Earth explode, or implode to be precise. There are only 5 survivors aboard the shuttle, when they are picked up by an Alien life form that calls itself "The Seeker". "The Seeker" sends them back in time to try and save the Earth from exploding.


Odyssey 5 has an air of realism that I have not seen in a sci-fi show since the Matrix, at least until Neo gets super powers in the real world:( The plot, writing, screenplay, acting, music, and science are all exceptional. And because of the drama and storyline, it is a show that you can probably watch with your wife, or significant other, but probably not your kids, due to some brief nudity and obscene language.


I can go on and on, so I guess I should stop now. I am sure this show will one day be completed, in one form or another, after all "Anything is possible. You believe that, don't you?"


The following websites can provide more insight into Odyssey 5. Notice, the following websites may have spoilers.
