"It began in the future. A time machine called TRAX, criminals who vanish, and a lawman who must pursue into the past. Now he is among us, a special breed of man.

  • It's official I'm starting to watch Time Trax again...

    I use to love this show when it came on back when I was a kid. I just finished watching the pilot and it still holds up as a great sci-fi adventure. I doubt anyone will even read this for a few months, but if you do find Time Trax anyway you can and watch it. It's worth it.

    we've all seen it done for other shows, so i thought i'd do it for this one. Make yoursef a title, and i'll authorize it, then you add it to your signature. My title is going to be : Godfather of Darien, and wather of the Smithsonian ladies room.

    Fine show! hide « show »

    The TV series "Time Trax" has popped into my mind more than once over the past couple of years, but I never took time to look it up on the internet until now. I keep thinking how it has become more and more relevant because of how the writers selected one of Darien Lambert's crisis points to be his suffering as a minority in his own time period -- as a "Blanco", of all things. How prescient was that, in view of the rising tide of Spanish-speaking immigrants (illegal and otherwise) which many think will drown our English-speaking traditions? Remember the recent news report about the anger over the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" in Spanish? Wasn't Darien's assignment to catch criminals in the past part of the discrimination against him? That was never said in so many words, but I thought it was implied. All the other cops (non-Blanco) got the cushy jobs in their own time period. I always liked Dale Midkiff's portrayal of Darien and have followed his TV appearances ever since. He is believable as such a nice, moral guy, but then again he can play a real slick, mean one, too.

    8.4 Great

    People were still toying with the idea of sci-fi in prime-time, and "time-cop" Darien Lambert's fish-out-of-water character and his pursuit of seeking justice on criminals of the future in our present day made this show unique and interesting. hide « show »

    The unfortunate demise of this show came all too prematurely. It was a creative spin on "Time Cop" and made for TV. It was a great show that in my household, we watched it as a family. I blame its departure on the now age-old routine of shifting time slots by networks giving viewers a hard time of keeping up to watch it, resulting in plummetting ratings and finally, the dread TV axe. Dale Midkiff was fabulous - he's was hot then and still is. It's unfortunate too that actors like him and Michael T. Weiss (of Pretender fame) both hit the big time in major TV roles, only to be cast aside and never really seen again, with the exception of occasional, off-the-radar cameos elsewhere. Major talents wasted. This one will always be one of my favourites and one I definitely consider a precursor to the success of sci-fi in mainstream audiences. We're still trudging along, but sci-fi is getting big!

    9.4 Superb

    This Show Rocked! It was a Excellant Story Line (ahead of it's time imo), had great acting, action, and good Special Effects. I am suprised it only made it a couple seasons but am even more shocked that I have not seen it come out on DVD or Reruns. hide « show »

    This is one of my All time Favorite shows, and that says alot since I love TV and have sooo many shows over so wide a time frame and genre. This show HAS to come out on DVD soon and I think we should start a letter writting campaign to get the Sci-Fi or Spike channel to pick it up for reruns. I Wish they had ended it better then they did, Darrien had sooo many more Fugitives to retrieve and there was certainly no shortage of possible good storys, but alas I think this show as with some others was ahead of it's time and Ratings as with Star Trek as it's downfall. Such a shame.

    A cool sci fi show. hide « show »

    Time travel sounds cool for a tv show. Time trax does it every week. Each episode requires out hero to track down an escape convict in the past and sending him back into the future. That's a very exciting plot to explore, each week is a spectacle just watching the cop from the future hunting down criminals with his supercomputer female sidekick. It's a very cool concept, it's fun and you don't have to think much about the science of it if time travel was possible. The show is fun, and you just have to enjoy it and perfect for a relaxed viewing.

    A well written and produced scifi serie. hide « show »

    A cop of the 22nd century has to go back to the past to retrieve fugitives who escaped there punishment in the future.

    It's a mixture of an lonely rider of the west and a future cop.

    The show has nice special effects for TV shows of that time. Holographic effects are showed as well in front as in the back of acting. Sometimes there is a small interaction.

    I like the acting of the two main characters very much, especially the computer actres.
    The storys are well written with some nice ideas but lack a bit of a red thread within the seasons as there is no big development.
