For me the best TV SciFi of recent years was "Dark Skies", intelligent & dangerous & taken off after one season.
ATB Mike.

Which one was Dark Skies? Refresh my memory and please tell me it *wasn't* the tacky X-Files rip off that took reak historical events (like the events of the Civil Rights Movement) and cheapened them beyond belief by representing that they were part of some form of alien conspiracy...

No if dark Skies is the piece of poop I'm thinking off it's nearly a decade old.
Taken was Ok, I could live with it and I liked the epic feel of it. Dark Skies was just insulting.

I don't *think* Dark Skies is that old, hang on....
... Nope, you're right. Dark Skies was made in 1996, and it is the one which tied real events to alien activities. Guess I missed that one- there were so many 'alien' series in the late 90s, I lost track.

Eric Close who starred in Dark Skies also starred in ???now in which he played a man with a made body and a dead mans brain. He doent have any luck in shows lasting very long.
however a very good actress Jeri Ryan was in and she went on to play 7of9 in Voyager.
