Hypernauts

Ron Thornton,the talented fx maestro who was one of the first to bring cg animation to TV in a regular series (Babylon 5)did triple duty on the Hypernauts as head of fx,producer, as well as director. Saturday morning shows have tight budgets,but you'd never know that watching this wonderful series.It rivaled any primetime sf show and packed in an amazing amount of cg in just 22 minutes. The premise & scripts were more sophisticated than what one usually gets for a Sat a.m. show, and the cast did a fine job.Only 8 of the 13 episodes were aired on ABC before the series was sadly cancelled.With all it had going for it I will never understand how that happened.It was shown on the Disney channel a few years ago, but hasn't been seen anywhere since. It would be nice if the Sci Fi channel could pick it up & run a marathon session of all 13 eps as they do with other series during the weekday mornings/afternoons.It is a sf show well worth your time...and yes, Heidi Lucas is a cutie.
