Reviewing Movies

Sheriff Jack Carter’s job was to prevent the genius misfits who work at Global Dynamics from blowing themselves and the town up. His female deputy is Jo Lupo and his robot deputy is Andy. He lives in a home controlled by artificial intelligence named Sarah. Sarah was bonded with Jack but since he introduced a human lover into the environment Sarah has become attached to Andy. I’ve heard of Telephone Sex and Online Sex but what kind of interaction a life-like robot has with an AI Computer I don’t want to think about.

When scientists engage in cutting edge scientific experimentation one may come to expect some unusual results but the fixes this gang get themselves into make Frankenstein look like an amateur. That something goes wrong on a daily basis seems rather extreme. Surely they could get the occasional experiment to operate properly even if it was by accident. Of course that would make for boring TV I suppose.

Season 5 begins with a Christmas Episode in which all the principal characters are represented by cartoon characters, even Jack’s Jeep becomes a talking car with attitude. This program aired on the Sci-Fi Channel so I’ve no idea as to the authenticity of any of the science that gets discussed.

The series ends with the DOD, Dept of Defense, who have funded the enterprise, shutting it down. In the final episodes things get mushie as various key players find lovers and get married. Once more this was a project shot in Canada.
