This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I just saw Dale Midkiff on a movie on TV and I remembered the TV show that I loved that he played in in the 90's, but couldn't remember the name of it, had to look it up. I used to watch this on Sundays after I got home from work, in the early evenings. It was the highlight of my Sundays. I loved this show and wonder why they don't make good SciFi shows anymore like they used to (I'm a Star Trek fan, too). I'm not sure about the new show "Fringe" yet. It is rather way out there, but it does deal with a parallel universe. I believe they go overboard anymore when making SciFi, with weird monsters and such. Seems they could keep it a little saner for those of us who remember the good ole days!

In spite of the fact that the "parallel universe" premise became so prevalent towards the end, Time Trax was a terrific show. First, Dale Midkiff's character had an incredible interest in history. 44 episodes to chase down ghosts of the past made for some interesting dialog.Second, it was obvious that because of his lack of emotional bonding in his orphanage spent youth, relationships in his time travels were especially important. It was apparent in all of his dealings with those he wound up helping during each episode.Third, the concept of exceptional intelligence and physical prowess added greatly to his larger than life persona. Darien was more than a good cop, he was in essence a superhero, one who could perform amazing acts in the 20th century.

I watched this show during the original run, which was when I was in my early teens. I remember thoroughly enjoying it and thinking it was one of the better shows on television. Years later, as an adult, I would see this late one night. I was suffering from nostalgia and decided to kick back and enjoy it one more time. I couldn't bear to watch it! I realized the acting, scripts, and direction.Granted, the premise was definitely fresh for its time. It could have worked, and if tuned properly and all the problems fixed, could possibly be brought back today. The networks need to remember that the public as a whole really does not mind having to think while watching a program. Mindless fodder is not going to placate those of us who need mental and intellectual stimulation.

It is rare that I find myself looking forward to watching re-run TV programs, "Time Trax" is one of those interesting shows that I keep tuning in for on the SciFi Channel.Darien Lambert (Dale Midkiff) is a policeman from the future (25th Century or so) who must travel back in time (usually the present) to find and send back to his time "criminals" who have also time travelled and are usually endangering the current time's inhabitants with advanced devices ("of EVIL").Darien is assisted by his holographic computer "Selma" (smartly played by Elizabeth Alexander) who appears from his rather futuristic credit card / weapon / transporter.This show is pure fantasy and, at times, corny, but Dale Midkiff makes his character impressively believable.
