#SevenDays TV ep #1.20 "Walter" (19-May-99).
A "Rainman" ep. Decent warm ep.
Tamlyn Tomita is great as a murderous Chinese spy. I saw her in my #Eureka, #TimeTrax, #FreakyLinks walkthroughs.
As it's 1999 I expected the comic nerd culture bit to land wrong but it went quite well.
RIP Comic Shop Guy
#Mann&Machine End of walkthrough
Do I recommend?
Yes I liked every ep bar the far too on the nose pilot ep. Shame there's no more. I had to endure 44 eps of that horrible crap #TimeTrax yet this well made and clever show only has 9 eps. All that exists are VHS rips from TV but well worth it.
#Mann&Machine TV ep #1.08 "Truth or Consequences" (30-Jun-92).
Eve learns about babies. Too similar to the previous ep.
1990s US TV sci-fi has done it again: #AlienNation, #EarthFinalConflict, #TimeTrax and now this show imagine that American Football will be a globally played 21st century code.
#Mann&Machine TV 1.04 cont'd.
I don't need to know why this will get canned after 8 eps. The usual network TV sob story no? Perhaps this show doesn't have legs as it needs a new sci-fi procedural and concept every ep yet it's easily superior to contemporary TV sci-fi of #AlienNation and #TimeTrax.

#Tracker TV 1.01 cont'd.
To match Adrian Paul the main villain is the other Canadian TV 1990s stalwart Geraint Wyn Davies. Man this is so 1990s feeling which surely will be its downfall.
So it'll be Davies V Paul plus a new person to be tracked & zapped each ep? Christ it really is #TimeTrax!
#Tracker TV 1.01 cont'd.
This does feel like #TimeTrax but with a lead who can act. Are toxic Boomers going to murder this show like they did TimeTrax?
I'm burying the lead and that is that Chyna is the main villain this pilot. Naturally she's dressed like a WWE skank and behaving accordingly.
It's the 33th anniversary of series Time Trax that I loved from its pilot episode and gave many inspiration, and enthusiasm for future tech and sci-fi for me. Main cast Elizabeth Alexander (as Selma the AI), Dale Midkiff (as Darien Lambert) and Peter Donat (as Mordecai Sahmbi) #TimeTrax
#TheOuterLimits TV ep #4.19 "Falling Star" (30-Jun-96).
One thing about these eps is casting is excellent. This has Sheena Easton as a singer on the downward slide.
It tried hard but it was so derivative. It reminded me of #TimeTrax TV ep #1.19 "Beautiful Songbird" (10-Nov-93), so not a high bar.
Bernard's 2025 walkthroughs review.
#TimeTrax: 4.5/10
I did this walkthrough in 2024 and 2025. Admittedly it took me forever as I only had poor VHS rips on YouTube. This show isn't particularly good. Quite forgettable at times. And it's been walloped with 1990s toxicity.

I haven't done a book as most of my background research is via Google, Wiki or doing by digging online.
Some shows I've done are so niche that either a fanbase doesn't exist (eg #TimeTrax) are now all dead (eg #TalesOfTomorrow) or have their own forensic researchers I can query (e #TheWhistler).
These are the journals of Darien Lambert, Captain, Fugitive Retrieval Section, A.D. 2193 #TimeTrax #VisualModeSelma ... digging up my past, now.
Happy birthday Dale Midkiff, born July 1, 1959.

#AmericanGothic TV ep #1.11 "Rebirth" (03-Jan-96).
Merlyn parks herself in a new body needed for a yet to be born baby. Great to let Sarah Paulson act.
What was hilarious is this ep had Amy Steel who was atrocious in that #TimeTrax ep in 1993 but shockingly was good here.

During a rewatch of Time Trax, who do I see but @jerilryan.bsky.social herself. #DaleMidkiff #TimeTrax
2024 was a false start for #Buffy.
S1 went down bad. S2 too. So my Buffy walkthrough died a death. #LeMans24H, #Euro2024 & #Olympics buried Buffy in the backyard.
But as my #SharpObjects, #MysteriousTraveler & #TimeTrax walkthroughs ended this week so I am resurrecting my Buffy walkthrough!
#TimeTrax I don't want to be too hard on this as there's a lot of good production work, casting, attention to detail. But as soon as Harve Bennett arrived this thing was dead. He was the past. If I had a proper DVD and not mere low quality VHS rips from TV then perhaps it would have fared better.
#TimeTrax Ep 2.22 cont'd.
Yes! Finally finished. Another show done & dusted!
End of walkthrough.
Do I recommend? No.
This show never elevated itself in terms of script or premise. It was begging for yet never created an arc in the 22nd century. So all the 20th century fare was too generic.
#TimeTrax TV ep #2.22 "Forgotten Tomorrows" (03-Dec-94).
Last ep!
Darien is memory wiped. Would've been more apt had it been for good?
Boy will I wipe my memory of this disappointing series quick now it's over!
I liked when Darien spoke Swahili.
This ep's 1990s hottie is Bonnie Burroughs.
#TimeTrax TV ep #2.21 "The Crash" (26-Nov-94).
Wow a good ep!
The plane crash was well realised and all the characters worked.
Having an ep set on a plane with a lead Irish character called Michael O'Leary! LOL!
The 1990s hottie was Jennifer Grant, Cary's daughter! Monique Spanbrook was hot too.
#TimeTrax Ep 2.20 cont'd.
Actually not the worst ep in that the future fugitive mixed in well with the theme of the episode. However this show has always had this crass side that dulls the mind as well as when it defaults to generic TV action. Least this ep tried. But for me failed.
