	The only part I liked was the very end when the girlfriend finds the
	love letter in the library book he gave her. It did give me a
	frightening potential series feeling though - like we could see
	dozens of episodes of whats-his-name trying to get back. These
	were such non-interesting people that I can't remember their names. 

	Oh well, it gave me something to watch while I saddle-soaped my boots.

    
    Hang onto you headgear, folks...  with the current status of
    writers' strike, and networks dredging (with all that the
    word "dredge" implies...) up ancient scripts to redo and rerun,
    I can practically GUARANTEE this will be a series!!
    
    I taped it - with my (third shift) schedule, I have to,
    and still get 5 or 6 hours sleep a day.  I may even save it...
    and tape the first few of the series.... and file it as
    "better than nothing".  (Well, really, with such things
    as "Hardy Boys" scripts, "Mission: Impossible" scripts,
    "Richie Brockelman, Private Eye", etc. etc. being
    trotted out again, this may actually be IT for new stuff
    this Fall.  
    
    Besides, my two kids (7 and 11) liked it.  Some rainy 
    Saturday morning I'll probably be glad I have it....

    re .0:
    
    Well, here goes what little reputation I have (if any), but I didn't
    think it was all _that_ bad. I agree wholeheartedly that it was
    terrible science-fiction, but I also got the impression that *they*
    knew it also, and "went with it". And so it did not come off so
    pretentious as "V" and "Something is Out There", etc. 
    
    I would not watch it as a series, but it did get a few laughs out
    of me (I mean genuine laughs, not laughing at effects)
    
    I too thought it was neat how he managed to get a note to his
    girlfriend.

    		Couple of things I thought of...
    
    		What was that "great library fire of '46" he talked
    	about? I would hope by the year 2046 all the books would not
    	have been placed in the same library with no fire protection!
    	
    		The thing that got me was how Maxwell whatever was
    	in reality a dweeb. I fully expected him to be the perfect cop
    	who would just keep cuffing the new guy until he got rid of
    	him...
    
    		Damned if this becomes a series....

    I fully expected Max to be dweeb. Too much hype about him in the
    beginning. It was obvious to me that the reality would be no where
    near the myth.

    Where are you from? ... Because I missed the show and if it's possible
    would ask to borrow the tape.  I'm at Enfield, CT.  Sounds like
    what I expect from TV Sci Fi - good entertainment, but incomparable
    to reading a book.   Sometimes it's a welcome change.

    I don't have a TV so the only time I get to watch any is when I'm
    away on a trip.  Well, this weekend I was away and I caught "Out
    of Time".  I thought it was amusing in a dumb (i.e., "cute") kind
    of way.   What struck me most about it was the extensive use of
    the Roland D-50/550 synth on the soundtrack.  I just got a D-550,
    and the other people watching with me wondered about my muttering
    patch numbers for the factory presets they used in the soundtrack...
