Show Summary

Edit Summary »

"We saw the Earth destroyed, and in a heartbeat everything and everyone we knew was gone. There were five of us, the crew of the space shuttle Odyssey and we were the only survivors. A mysterious being who called himself The Seeker rescued us and sent us back in time. And now we have five years to live over, five years to discover who or what destroyed the Earth, five years to stop it from happening again..."

    Finally something interesting hide « show »

    For whatever reason execs at the networks chose to dump a show that is well-written, cast with great actors and has an interesting story i really do not know. Odyssey 5 is not only intriguing story-wise but it also works as an ensemble piece. the crew is very likeable and sometimes very funny and ironic. Especially the relationship between Kurt and Angela is quite interesting. Peter Weller totally nails the part of Taggart. i haven't seen a performance like that in a very long time. I would really like to know if the 5 actually prevent the earth from exploding or if the sentients prevail. The last episode has a huge cliffhanger and i would like to see that resolved. what about a mini-series?

    OK, some of the episodes were decidedly cheesy... however, the last four were really great and the whole story was really building momentum... and then... CUT! end of season, end of series. Definitely needs a movie to give us closure! hide « show »

    Started off really great - brilliant and new idea... great characters, very different concept of sci fi using a realistic space shuttle. OK, during the season, some of the episodes were decidedly cheesy... however, the last four episodes were really great and the whole story was really building momentum and coming together.

    The fact that the characters involved were barking up the wrong tree, and that more information was coming out ... poor Kurt was stuck in jail ... poor Sara is losing her son and possibly her future husband... (oops! Spoilers!) ... and then... CUT! end of season, end of series. Definitely needs a movie to give us closure! PLEASE!

    i don't understand why the have to stop all good scifi series.

    watch it even if you know there is no an end thx to the genius that stopped its production.

    9.5 Superb

    Very few programs of any genre have the intelligent and honest character dialogue as scripted in ‘Odyssey 5’… hide « show »

    The stars of this show to me are the writing team; Manny Coto, Jonathan Glassner, Tommy Thompson, Tracy Tormé, Edithe Swensen, Alan Brennert, Lindsay Sturman, Michael Cassult!
    The actors portray their characters with a sense of being that is rare in sci-fi. And the writers have filled the voices of the characters with a truthfulness that makes me laugh and at times clap. Or even hoping that I remember some witty line to drop into a conversation at a later date.
    Like most people I am sad that SHOWTIME cancelled this program. And sadder that it seems acceptable in the current TV climate to feel no remorse or need to finish with a movie length episode that wraps up all the loose ends.
    As we the viewers become more savvy, we seem to notice when we are gypped.
    Its unfortunate that a great show is marred by an ending that leaves us hanging…similar to Surface, Blade and so many more.
    I recommend this program even knowing that there is no resolution. It’s a great ride and we know they would save us in the end.

    MUST READ THIS - don't watch this unless you are ready for disappointment. Don't support Manny Coto - or SHOWTIME unless they FINISH this series. Had great potential...to bad the ones pulling the strings are so LAME! hide « show »

    NO ENDING! There is no way I can give this episode, or this series a good rating when it leaves it's loyal viewers HANGING and doesn't end the series. This reflects poorly on SHOWTIME and MANNY COTO. Look out!

    I wouldn't watch anything these "entertainers" do until they complete their work...until they finish the job in with they were paid to do. Look for COTO before watching his work.

    These "entertainers" should be ashamed for hooking the public into a show, and leaving them high and dry. But, they don't care. They will continue to do this unless we ban there work - or, at least - let them finish a product...and THEN watch it. I've cancelled my SHOWTIME subscription for 5 years now. It's sooooo simply. JUST END IT. Geezsh...
