Please tell me I’m not the only one who remembers and loved this weird show. I swear I’ve only met a couple of people who remember the movie, much less the fact it was a show. I know it was effectively a one season wonder, but it apparently liked enough to get a mini series kinda second season.

Yeah it wasn’t perfect, but they tried with it what they did with Trek, using it as a vehicle to talk about things like race and sexuality, and I always kind of wished it had survived longer. I love the scene in the first episode with Matt defending Emily at the school.

The only other people I know who have even heard about it are also GenX so I figured if anyone else remembered it, I’d find you in here. ;)
