A cop from the future is sent back to contemporary times to track down fugitives hiding in the past. In 2193, criminal Mordecai Sahmbi has invented a time machine called TRAX. He uses the device to help 200 of his friends escape by time-travelling to 1993. TRAX is captured by the police, but not before Sahmbi himself escapes. Capt. Darien Lambert is a cop who travels back to 1993 with the mission of sending all the criminals back home (he cannot himself return until the mission is completed, since TRAX only allows two trips). Lambert is armed with Selma, a self-aware computer, and a small weapon called a PPT which can send criminals to the future (the red button) or render humans unconscious for a few minutes (green) or several hours (blue). 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! Why did Daren always give a speech to the bad guy before sending them back to the future??? He would be pointing the device at the guy and he'd go on and on about how justice must be done and about the original crime. He would point the thing at the guy for like 3 minutes. blah blah blah just shoot him! Lets just give him more and more of a chance to get away with every passing second. The speeches got more and more dramatic towards the end of the show too. Sometimes the bad guy would even grab a knife or something from across the room and even still darien wont shoot him because that moment had to be reserved for the very last scene. pretty dumb if you ask me but I still enjoyed the show.
