Threat Matrix
 
Did anyone see it last night? The opening seen of Threat Matrix was a little confusing because I didn’t really understand if the people going into the silo were terrorists or not. Once I figured that out though I really liked it. The show never slowed down so I could never tear myself away.

I saw it last night
 
I missed it when it premiered, but ABc ran it again last night, so I caught it then. Pretty cool stuff. I especially liked how they handled the end by throwing that terrorist into the bomb squad truck -- what a finale! Wonder what this week's show will be about?

MareImbrium 09-22-2003 05:21 PM

I liked it and that last scene...sheesh! Talk about suspense. Can you imagine the horrible that's inside that bomb thing? Ugh. But I liked it. I"ll keep watching it and see how it turns out. I only figured the beekeepers were the good guys only because I recognized the main woman from the previews.

bafromkc 09-24-2003 04:22 PM

yeah the last scene really was intense. it will be interesting to see how they follow it up tomorrow night.

trideltgirl 09-24-2003 04:45 PM

yeah i missed the actual premiere too because of that stupid hurricane. my power was out for like 5 days!!
but i did get a chance to see the encore, and i must admit that it was pretty intense! it's almost as suspenseful as paradise hotel!! hehe, jk. hey, does anyone know what else kilmer was in? he's so cute, and i know that i have seen him before, just can't think of where...

bafromkc 09-24-2003 04:56 PM

Kilmer's name in real life is Jamie Denton. i think he did a good job in the first ep. but his character needs to develope more in the upcoming episodes. i have faith that he will do it though. here is his bio if you want to check it out.

hey thanks for posting that link. i knew that i had seen jamie in a bunch of stuff before. so did you guys catch the episode last night?

krazy 09-26-2003 02:52 PM

Really Good
 
Way beyond what I thought was possible on TV. I loved it.

bafromkc 10-03-2003 12:41 PM

anyone see last night's episode? one of my roommates is a big dork who watches Star Trek and recognized that woman Iraqi scientist from some Star Trek show. we all threw stuff at him the rest of the night. anyway, back to threat matrix, i liked how the locations jumped from all different parts of the world and how some of the team was in one place while others were at a different location. i thought it added a nice excitment factor to the show. i think i am going to keep watching.

LSUquadkid 10-10-2003 12:01 PM

I saw last week's episode and I saw last night's episode. Last night was probably my favorite so far out of the three. I always like the beginnings to the show. They build up the rest of the show nicely. And I really like all the characters. I think Frankie kicks ass!! And I totally want Jelani's job--he knows everything about everyone from looking at a computer.

bafromkc 10-17-2003 11:34 AM

Jelani wasn't on threat matrix last night. but that new guy, treavor i think his name was did a good job filling in. the bomber on the show looked just like the unibomber. i thought the explosions were well done. any other thoughts?

Entertainment Weekly has been panning this show since it was announced.. I'm surprised to hear so many positive references here. Maybe I'll have to check it out next week...

Well you better hurry. There is talk of yanking it off the air before sweeps because of poor viewership. They even scored low ratings when they aired it on Monday. I personally, liked it. If they could only find a good time slot for it.

LSUquadkid 10-21-2003 12:09 PM

They replayed the DR. Germ episode last night! I had to watch it again. Did anybody else see it before the game?

bafromkc 10-21-2003 03:12 PM

There are no definite plans for the show to be yanked yet. i personally enjoy the show and its hard for any new show to go up against friends and survivor and do well right off the bat. i would say give it time and in a few weeks see where the ratings are at.

LSUquadkid 10-31-2003 01:10 PM

how did you like the show last night? I hope it doesn't get cancelled. I'm starting to really like this show. I'm a fan of Frankie! She kicks ass..

bafromkc 10-31-2003 01:53 PM

i was glad to see that frankie didn't get thrown in the slammer. it was gross how that guy put the dead skin on his own fingers.

vanda 10-31-2003 01:54 PM

ABC has has picked upThreat MAtrix for a full season.

bafromkc 10-31-2003 05:34 PM

thats good to hear. :D

PhiPsiDCAlpha 10-31-2003 07:28 PM

Yeah, I love that show -- and I am a Democrat -- because primarily that I am afraid of terrorists for one, and for another, I feel like they are sort of giving me a behind the scenes -- I get into it. Also, it teaches me some of the laws via pop culture and finally the story lines seem to be a lot less plastic now that they have progressed!

LSUquadkid 11-07-2003 12:21 PM

oh-that's great to hear that they picked it up for a full season. I'm starting to really like it. Last night's episode was pretty good. Slow in the beginning, but then at the end--it got all intense and crazy. Kept me on the edge of my seat. I really liked the story line.

Well, the troubling thing is that I was in JROTC in my school and I was a member of the rifle club and an 'elite corps' called the JROTC Rangers -- we wore black berets and so forth.

Good thing, though, is that I believed Threat Matrix to be a conservative voicebox and it doesn't seem very "Marekin" to put down Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps young cadets -- to vilify them/us like that!

I know there is nothing more wholesone and "Marekin" than baseball, but the agenda of this is that anybody with military training is likely to become unstable and become a mass murderer.

This boy was being mentored by his Staff Sargeant at school, for God's sake!

So, maybe Threat Matrix is a voice box of Hollywood Liberalism!

Who knows?!

LSUquadkid 11-07-2003 05:39 PM

Well I think you are looking way too deep into this. I would hope liberals would find a better way to get their message across then in a primetime TV show. As for the JROTC, they weren't picking on them.I think they were just using that as plot material ..It's suppose to be entertaining...:)

Well, methinks I was just being touchy! It hit close to home -- and I got all swept up into the story!

bafromkc 11-14-2003 11:58 AM

I missed the show last night, can anyone fill me in?

Dollars are Deadly!

Terrorists intend to gut the US Market for the Dollar by coating $20s with some sort of poison that sounds like "Sexy Opolis" and next thing we know, the crack team from TM is on its was on its exploration of what is Right, What is Moral, and how Spycraft is about Integrity and Intuition!

Spies have integrity -- mercenaries are the lame-ohs who mess everything up for the little boys from Langley and Moscow!

Well, apparently there are loads of Russian ex-KGB folks who are either involved in the Russian Mafia or have slipped into the expanse of Living-in-America Russian immagrant anonymity.

Its about Love, passiona, cultural stereotypes, and -- truth is:

In Threat Matrix, people with Morals and Integrity and Loyalty always have that and intuition of a good agent always wins against ALL THE EVIDENCE!

I completely love this show!

Watched last night's show, too -- good stuff! That Frankie is somethin else. I love how she is always right. Girlpower!

LSUquadkid 11-25-2003 07:23 PM

I really like her too! She's got a lot of power! It hasn't been on the past couple of weeks..when does it come back on. I"m having threat matrix withdrawal....

bafromkc 11-25-2003 07:30 PM

its not on this week but it comes back the following week. should be good.

PhiPsiRuss 12-22-2003 10:43 PM

I just saw this for the first time. This is a really good show. I was impressed.

PhiPsiDCAlpha 12-23-2003 01:38 AM

Yeah. When it started, in my opinion, it was too heavy-handed but I like it too. I don't see it enough, but I miss it.
