  Looking at the bloodbath of TV cancellations and the glut of awful reality shows I think it is time we revolted against the Nielsen Ratings System. Apparently they only choose the most cattle like families for their group of 5000 people that determine what stays on. Frankly I don't believe in the accuracy. They certainly do not reflect the shows that are popular on a site like this one. The networks only care about advertising revenue based on artificial demographics. The only way to effect them is to give the sponsors the idea that you are helping them. Make the corporations who advertise insist that the shows return or they will take their ad dollar elsewhere. If the Nielsen system is debunked maybe the public can be in charge of the fate of the shows we invest ourselves in. Pass it on.less «

  Ok guys the series is still on trial for a new season. If you dont believe me go to Manny Cotto's website and go to the boards. Also I have bought the dvds and they are worth the money for them also if you want to discuse more 05 and want to help petition it go to this website and go to the boards and talk about it and spread the word to your friends. This is the site www.theseekeronline.com. I go here regularly to see whats happening with Manny Cotto fans and see the latest news on the series. Also here is the correct to Manny's website http://www.mannycoto.com/. I hope to see you guys around the boards at the seeker. The best episode I liked was the last episode Fossil. Also I liked Rage LDU and the Kittie episode. I think that this series had an original concept over the other Scifi fly through space themes like Star Trek and played with new AI ideas and the end of the world themes to. less «

  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?

  Do you agree?

  8.6 Great

  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!

  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.

  1 Abysmal

  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...
