I'm still liking Threshold which does seem to have some good continuity, and has such an excellent cast, one of the best (at least in potential) on network TV currently.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Threshold does have a great cast, but the storylines are already getting sort of repetitious.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What this season has shown me, although I probably already knew it, if I'd stopped to think about it, is that I'll forgive mediocre writing more than I'll forgive a mediocre cast. It's why I've stuck with Threshold and dropped Surface and Invasion.

I read the comic books first.
On edit: Dana, I agree. Well, I didn't bother to try Surface but Threshold is better than Invasion because of the acting. . . even though that Ed Cibrian is pretty damn cute.

I saw one episode of Threshold this weekend. I liked the cast, although I miss the more hard-boiled Carla Gugino we got in Karen Sisco. ::sigh::
But Peter Dinklage being snarky and arrogant? And Brent Spiner being snarky and arrogant? Gotta love it.

If I only had a brain...
Can one ever have too much snarky and arrogant, if strictly fictional and written by the best?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Threshold is totally snarky & arrogant TV, it's what I watch for.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I like Threshold a lot, and mainly for the cast. The arc interests me, but I do wish they'd get on with it, instead of having every week be "Whoops, someone else is infected, we must catch them."

Yes, both Threshold and Invasion are very very slow - arc-wise.
