I just found "First Wave" and I gotta say, WOW, am I ticked off.As an avid TV watcher, and a Sci-Fi fanatic, I have no idea how this got past my sci-dar.At least SciFi has seen fit to start it up again - and thank goodness for my DVR so I can tape all episodes.This series absolutely rocks. It doesn't rely on the oh-so-well-used computer aided nonsense, rather it's a well written, edge-of-your-seat grip-something-really-tight adventure, a thinking person's program.Again, how this got by me when it was in production and on-air has me not only perturbed but confused - to say they needed better press is the understatement of the last and present century.If anyone with any juice at all reads this blurb, hey. Get on it. Get this program back into production with the original cast, please.Oh - and get a better ad agency or press personnel group or something - your last one did a poor job - especially to miss someone as into this genre as [email protected]

I think it goes without saying that Sebastian Spence really made this series work. He had that quintessential generation X (Markie Mark) look with an attitude to boot. Rob Labelle was also very distinguishing as Crazy Eddie. Traci Lords Character was a good addition in the 3rd season, but someone like Cynthia Rothrock could have given you just as much sex appeal along with the ability to kick some SERIOUS butt.Nonetheless, I enjoyed the series from beginning to end, and hope to see it available on DVD soon. This was a youth driven project looking to reach a young audience. It was also good exposure for Spence who displayed the ability to fulfill the demands of an action lead role. Roger Cross also did an excellent job in the anti-hero role of Joshua as well.

Contrary to the views of another reviewer, I find this series outstandingly entertaining and my wife and I have been addicted to every episode. I am in my 50's and have a postgraduate degree - so much for moronic, sex-craved teens only! It is excellent escapism. No-one is suggesting that the programme is 'realistic' - that could hardly be described as the purpose of most SciFi TV series - but it does hold one intrigued from the beginning of the first series to the end of the last to find out how, if at all, everything is going to work out. The 'prophecies' of Nostradamus add a novel twist to everything and since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I should imagine that Nostradamus would feel well flattered indeed by this programme and the only somersaults he will be turning in his grave will be one's of delight. I would suggest that this programme be accepted for what it is and that one should not expect it to be deeply meaningful or anything else that it does not purport to be. It is well acted and directed throughout and I would recommend it unreservedly.

Why on earth was this show cancelled? I barely got to see it, and it was suddenly not on TV anymore. Is there somewhere I can still see it? This was one of my guilty pleasures as a closet geek, and the news I have received now that it was CANCELLED have truly saddened me. I would really like to see if, if you can help, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
