Time trax complete series series#

Veteran Trekkers will likely find Bennett’s latest beneath them, but the juves might not mind. The genial tone here is less akin to the “Terminators” than to the time-traveling escapades of, say, “Star Trek IV,” whose producer, Harve Bennett, developed this series. Rather than work through his grief like a sensitive 20th-Century guy, the highly evolutionized Lambert resolves to send himself back to primitive 1993, where he can not only track down the escaped time-travel pioneer Sahmbi but also all the myriad criminals that the bad doctor shipped back in time ahead of his own sorry carcass. The setup has “fugitive retrieval” officer Darien Lambert (Dale Midkiff), the best cop alive in 2193, suffering the loss of a love at the hands of sinister scientist Dr.

But under the direction of Lewis Teague, tonight’s two-hour premiere (at 8 on KCOP-TV Channel 13) moves through its predictable paces with enough unsmirkingly silly, old-time Saturday-matinee panache to be a creditable entertainment for fairly recent arrivals to our era, anyway-i.e., kids. The show itself, meanwhile, is at least two or three decades too late for any of this to seem even slightly clever to science-fiction buffs. No one says, “I’ll be back,” but the scenario does lead to exchanges of dialogue like: “You are two hours late!” “Yes, but 200 years early!”

The new syndicated series “Time Trax” follows in the well-worn time-travel tracks of the “Terminator” movies and assorted antecedents, with good guys and baddies jetting between centuries to track each other down and plot or avert world-domination schemes.
