Quotes:

[V.O. intro from every episode except pilot]
Chuck Taggart: 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.

Great story and great actors

This is/was among my favorite sci fi shows, I got hooked after 20 minutes of watching. The dialoge between the actors are just great, had lots of laughs by their intelligent humor. The story is really interessting and I love the way it unfolds.

Now how they can cancel a great show like this is beyond me, I really hope sci fi channel or some else make more episodes of this great show.
