Don't you just hate it when you get hooked on a show and it's yanked unceremoniously off the air, leaving you hanging into infinity? Yeah, me, too. Such was the case with Surface, an alien-sea-monster-inspired drama that aired on NBC during the 2005-2006 season.The series starred the soulful Lake Bell as Laura Daughtery, a marine biologist who encounters a strange creature on the ocean floor. She writes up her report, only to have it confiscated by the government in the name of national security.
Meanwhile, nerdy teen Miles (Carter Jenkins, whom I predict has a huge career ahead of him, though not if he keeps signing on for shows like the short-lived Viva Laughlin) stumbles across a strange egg on the beach and takes it home. Imagine his surprise when out hatches a weird amphibious creature that emits an even weirder electrical current.
As fans wait til later this month for word on whether or
not there will be a second season of Surface (it doesn't look good) comes news that the first season will be
I was afraid of this. Sources tell me that
it doesn't look like there will be a second season of NBC's Surface. The network won't make the official
announcement until next month, when they unveil their fall schedules, but it looks like the show has ended.
I like a show that doesn't BS around with dull scenes in its season
finale. Right off the bat we're given the scenario: Miles and his family are packing up to escape town before the
tsunami hits, Caitlin's Vespa is stolen when she arrives too late to find Miles, and she's knocked out when the crook
pushes her, and Laura steals a rental car from the airport and blows by a road block to find Rich, who has been locked
in a room at the mysterious lab. (And what is Jackson's name and pic doing on the lab's computers? Section
Chief?!?)
You know how sometimes they'll advertise an episode of a TV show as the
"episode you must see" or "the episode that changes everything?" Usually it's just hype or wishful
thinking. They didn't advertise episode 14 of Surface as an episode that changes everything or a must
see. But they could have. Because, well, this is the episode that changes everything.
Celebrate the 4th by watching television!
