  1. Straight to series? That’s a lot of faith for a company that has a mixed track record, if that, in televised science fiction. For every “Under the Dome” there’s a disappointment like “Terra Nova,” “Falling Skies,” “Taken” or going back aways, “Amazing Stories.” That said, I’ll be there with my hopes up for the premiere episode.

  2. I almost forgot one of my, ahem, favorites: “SeaQuest DSV”
