I found this gem by accident too sad it was cancelled.... this show has potential.... Dutton, Gugina, Spiner, Dinklage and Van Holt all good actors .... why, why cancelled? Too bad....
Shows usually get cancelled due to low viewership, due to number of reasons - poor marketing, late night time slot, main actors or actresses dying (like Spartacus), or competing with other more popular shows. The last option is what led to its cancellation - it's normal viewing time was changed to a time slot that had it competing with Law and Order: SVU. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_(TV_series)
Time to stop blaming the govt and support it. Trump admin has undermined our federal govt and many of its agencies. Aiitiudes like yours only help such an agenda.
@@skye1212 I know full well that Trump is a moron. Doesn't change the fact that government agencies frequently display astonishing levels of incompetence and corruption. Then again it's not much different in the business world either. Maybe it's just because they're all run by humans. ;)
Yeah, but then the world get alienified and you eat your dog or something. I know that guy. Hell, I have worked for that guy. There a freakin' million of 'em out there.
Why have I been watching this for so long? I am old, old. It is about my speed I guess, I am so outdated..lol. I still like it for what it is. Thanks. I never watched the dang series.
It's one of the better series among a group of average shows, perhaps? There's a series about a vamp PI as well, called Moonlight. It's about the vamp community in contemporary society, with a female detective that stumbles across the vamp community and working with the vamp PI in a bunch of paranormal related killings. Like this series, a bit intellectual, and with a blossoming romance between the two, but it only lasted two season due to low viewership, and it ended on a cliffhanger - a vampire elder and his henchmen (looks a lot like vamp mafia family) coming to his town.
Didn't the series somewhere state that they only look human, and that due to their "genetic changes" they could now function in far worse conditions than normal people - sorry watched this some time ago, can't remember every detail. We never see them sleep?
The triple helix alien symbol viewed throughout these Threshold episodes looks identical to a crop circle formation named Triple Spiral that formed in 1996 at windmill hill Uk.
Another show I watched called The Unit, seems 2 have similar feel in some ways. U would think, if n incident happens @ a persons home, like w/ the water guy, they would check 4 bugs, no matter how much time the guy was in the house that particular day. But w/ all the contingency plans she could come up w/, that particular contingency couldn't b thought of, really? Can't believe that's Amanda Fuller they got in the back of that transport. So much younger there.
@Fly Oz They might have been trying to be low key. If they had more vehicles it might have alerted the aliens to their route. The issue though was that it should have been one prisoner and five trips. The water guy and the bug was a definite mistake. No one should have ever been entering her home period.
yeah. how did the first guy escape anyway? he had the arm of the soldier. and ? was there a door opener chip in the wrist of that soldier? did the soldier give him the keys? why did the other guy standing 3 m away not start shooting at once? that was really bad writing.
JT suggested moving the prisoners a few shows back and Molly shot it down. Now she acts like moving the prisoners was the plan all along. That's real life. With each episode Molly becomes less impressive. 12:52 she closes her eyes before she shoots the water guy. Protocol is to not repeat patterns like ordering food from the same place but going home is OK. Getting hard to keep watching.
This series started out awesome, but someone in their writing department just wasn't creative enough to keep it going. It degenerated quickly into predictable plot lines, lack of further character development, and repetitive conflict themes that went nowhere. It is sad, really. There was a ton of potential in the original premise.
I know. I had to turn it off. Why on earth would you drive through a freakin' tunnel?I mean it is just screaming AMBUSH! Why would you not have a following vehicle? Why would you not have more guards? Personally, I would have put guards on top in body armor with a couple of 50 cals and 105 mm recoilless rifle. Blast the shit out of any thing tht got close. It makes me cringe to watch. It's like the writers got in a hurry to get to some far-off plot point and just rushed through the intervening time. This kinda crap is why they only got 13 episodes. So much potential lost. I really wanted to see how they were going to pull this off. Possibly they wrote themselves into a corner and didn't know how it was going to end either. That's the reason I have never been able to finish any of those novels I started. Ha Ha.Bummer. Another thing that bugs me is that they never look at this thing from the aliens side. Wouldn't it be cool to get into their psychology and know what's driving them. I would love to understand why the aliens do what they do. Is it some kind of biological imperative being forced upon them by some implanted memories. Are they like salmon swimming upstream every year to spawn? Guess we'll never know. Hey Amazon! Resurrect this turkey and make it the way it should have been made. (Hey, it could happen.)
I think the plot about the signal was strong then it became diluted into terraforming and crystals and sperm and blood. The threat was coming from all angles and thus it became too nebulous. It was unclear why the signal couldn't just have been put into the internet at any stage and ended humanity like that.
@@LilStevie369 Have you driven all possible routes between D.C. and West Virginia? I will admit that I haven't, but it is possible that 1 very indirect route had a tunnel. Though it is much more likely it was part of a plot device to build tension and coincidentally make that new National Security guy look stupid.
@@howardkerr8174 didnt have to work hard at that he was the worst portrayer of a NSA i have seen in movies or TV in a long time personally i would have infected him just to get rid of him 😃
First the babe is Super Fox x 100. I was probably over seas withe Uncle Sam when this was a series, first time seeing this. I just binge watched this as I am still hypnotized by Ms. SF100. Instead of sticking with the original five team members, now so many unlikable extras and as many here say unrealistic plot. I will sleep, and return to continued watching of SF100 and just FFW thru the second boring alien senator, and the new fluttering effeminate.
And the other two just collapse into a funky goo. Oh, nasty, "Hey private, Come over here and clean up this alien goo, Just don't get any of it on you". Hell yeah. I can see it.
about comments, its not a bad show, but not brilliant either, a bit same old same old story, characters develop over the series with a different problem each episode, which allways is resolved, but the most important thing is IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT WATCH IT !!!
Pros & cons both ways. I was trained to break up prisoners into as small of groups as practical. It did make control easier. The down side was the man power & other logistics to seperate into easy groups was not always available. Moving a large crowd guaranteed more disciplinary and escape attempt problems.
Can you spell POLITICIAN, who wants everything under their control and views noncompliance as the worst sin possible. And guess who decided to ignore her protocols because "he knew better", remind you of anyone?
The first 3 or 4 episodes were cool, but the writing seems to have run out of steam. Sloppy! This idea is good, but, perhaps a 6 x 1 hour episodes mini-series, or a movie would have been the way to go. I shall watch the to the end.
Airborne usually implies something in gaseous form, like oxygen. Sound transmission would mean it would be a sonic infection, a unique idea, but hardly a new one, considerating sound has been weaponized before. To use as a security measure, i'd give all agents a specially built earpiece that can counter the alien signal with a countersignal or the audio filter they always use, that way you'd have way less infections around personnel?
Imi place serialul , este relaxant cand nu ai ce face . Nu vreau sa fiu critic de filme americane , dar la ei in multe filme ori sunt prosti , ori sunt prosti. Pai tu marea forta a lumii , locul intai la armata , cum poti sa ai soldati asa prost instruiti care nu stiu nici sa traga cu o arma automata , dar sa mai faca si o strategie de lupta. Si mai este o treaba care iar mi se pare ironic idioata . Cand este vorba de o arma secreta care v a ajuta toata tara , sau numai pe Masoni , cum poti sa te suspectezi si sa te ataci , serviciile unele pe altele . Numai americanii , cred ca au atatea servicii si atat de imbecile sa se manance intre ei . Pacat de multe filme , ca vor sa dea suspans si savoare prin tot felul de scenarii gandite cu C..u .
The writers seem to think that all who work in the Whitehouse or in the armed forces are idiots! Same goes for the audience & I for one are not stupid. Pity this series went downhill the first 4 episodes were great, unfortunately they get progressively worse.
Why can't they try blood transfusions to at least help with good blood? It is a good series but seems to have gone off. Too many people going different ways.
Protocols, standards, etc., etc. Plenty of bureaucratic work for useless people. First, and foremost, one does RISK ASSESSMENT, and then -- only then -- establish CONTROLS. Writing manuals and procedures before doing proper risk assessment leads to the f'ck-ups one watches in these episodes.
my god , the writing is just horrible , to anyone with a brain and common sense ,, this show is full of holes that make smart people cringe in disbelief
Typical made for tv show stupid behaviors that no real humans would make, really devalues the potential of conversations like this about nonhuman beings.
Horribly written show, that senator was too arrogantly pushing for a transport he timed and it was all so obvious. And yes as another one mentioned they never sweep for bugs??!! Seriously that should have been an almost daily chore. Yes it's just a show but then so is congress.
10 episodes and they still didn't show the aliens. No dialog with them, nothing, no science about their technology or their home world or what they are really doing here, how they got here, or the meaning of the tri-symbol, or the multi-dimensional thing, no spaceships or space battles, just more tedious doomsday virus crap like all the zombie crap. This series failed also because it was so dark and spooky, not fun.
You usually leave a big reveal for the cliffhanger on the last episode of each season - something you can hook people for watching the new season with. Too bad this show didn't last longer, it might have had some decent ideas going forward - an alien baby, multiple ways of spreading the virus, including electronic, multiple infected people in the same facility, previous alien visits to Earth, a growing alien threat on the bottom of the ocean - there is plenty of ways you could really have had a lot of fun with these storylines.

Carla Gugino is really beautiful and a great actress.
Thank you I didn’t know her name ❤
To all of the negative comments, it's just a show, and not a bad one either.
Yeapb
Hey we're just having fun. Sort of like the writers.
it is a BAD SHOE, remember when the cabbage had teeth? Teeth Cabbage are the clear sign of Bad showery. But: we watch it.
Threshold needs to add a protocol of doing a sweep for bugs weekly on alternating days. #🐞
One of my favorite episodes. The idea to tried the alien Infection like an immunisation of a Virus was quiet clever.
ahead of its time if it aired now it would easily get a few seasons
That level of incompetence is so off the charts, they might just be a real government agency.
Epstein alien no longer infecting young girls

Worst boss ever. Insists you do his stupid plan, then blames you when it fails. I'd be like, "Well, I can see my efforts are no longer needed here."
Yeah, but then the world get alienified and you eat your dog or something. I know that guy. Hell, I have worked for that guy. There a freakin' million of 'em out there.
He was lax, paid no attention to his interaction with the prisoner.

I remember that show.
Wow! This episode was a real tear jerker!
that ambush was a joke. 1 escort vehicle!? why was the air support 5 mins away? why didnt they follow the baddies?
"We have Apache helicopters standing by!" *shows Black-hawk DAPs...
Carla Gugino is so good.
So, they have a man who is infected but still human on a lab bed with no sheet, bedding, or covering....isn't he cold....on his flat steel bed?
Radiant floor heat; makes everything better ...
at least give him a pillow!

u made a great point
navy ship is still been infected at the bottom of the sea making some kind glasses

All that tech and they don't scan their houses for bugs?
Man delivers water, turns out to be alien, keep water?

Ha ha excellent. Hadn't thought of that. That's funny.
30:39. Pretty sure the music in the background was used in Supernatural as well? :P
brah: This has god/chuck in it.
Reminds me of The Invaders.
To be fair it was a good show, in my opinion.
Thanks for posting!
I like the imaginary friend good twist it had me going
Now I see why this show was cancelled. Everybody escapes so easily.
yeah. how did the first guy escape anyway? he had the arm of the soldier. and ? was there a door opener chip in the wrist of that soldier? did the soldier give him the keys? why did the other guy standing 3 m away not start shooting at once? that was really bad writing.
39:30 "... can I get you something? " How about a matress, a blanket and a pillow????
They better check everybody’s blood regularly , like daily .

This is a really good show but it needed more alien tech and special effects. What ever happened to that alien part that was found under the floor?
