If you want to see some good television SF, check out "The Questor Tapes". It is being aired in the Bay Area this Saturday night at 11:30 on channel 2. Like "V", it was a pilot for a series. Unlike "V" (I predict), it was not picked up. Also unlike "V", it had an original, interesting plot, realistic science, and some interesting characters. I'm not saying it was perfect - the plot, though original and interesting, had just a touch of the juvenile, and most of the characters were cardboard. (One was supposed to be cardboard! That was a nice switch.) But it was sure better than V. --- Jef

The Questor Tapes is a great movie. It was written and produced by Gene Roddenberry (of Star Trek fame, for those who might have forgoten). Compared to most of his other post-Star Trek efforts, it actually has a plot and real characters.
