on Wednesday, June 08, 2005 - 08:48 AM |
From sci-fi classics to contemporary genre hits, SPACE: The Imagination Station's fall line-up has something for everyone. Leading up the line-up is a brand-new season of the fan-favourite Battlestar Galactica, as well as the return of Battlestar Galactica - The Classic Series, airing together for the first time on Canadian television and exclusively on SPACE.
"SPACE continues to bring our viewers what they have asked for," said Isme Bennie, Director of Programming and Acquisitions for SPACE. "This will be an amazing season, with the world's top series in the schedule - the two Battlestar Galactica series, the series premiere of The 4400, a strip run of Enterprise, and new seasons of Stargate SG-1, The Dead Zone and Smallville."
NEW PROGRAMS:
THE 4400
All-New Series
Based on the recent miniseries, this new series picks up one year after the events on the beach revealed the truth about the 4400 - and the world is a much different place. Tom has returned to work at Homeland Security and is once again teamed up with Diana, who is in the midst of formally adopting Maia. Richard, Lily and the baby, now six months old and showing she is far from an ordinary child, are living in meager conditions in a mountain cabin, far away from Jordan Collier who has closed Arcadia Estates and is about to open "The 4400 Centers," a place for people to discover "the 4400 within themselves." Now, as the members of the 4400 struggle to resume their "life interrupted," each will come to play a pivotal role in events still to come... events that will shape the destiny of the human race.
SUPERNATURAL
All-New Series
Sam Winchester has done his best to escape his family's eerie history, but, along with his older brother Dean, Sam is bound by tragedy and blood to a dangerous, other-worldly mission.

Executive produced by McG, David Nutter and Eric Kripke and stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.
STARGATE ATLANTIS
New to SPACE
A spin-off from the highly successful Stargate SG-1 series, Stargate Atlantis follows a multinational scientific and military group, led by diplomat Dr. Elizabeth Weir, as they go on a mission to investigate the secrets of Atlantis, a city now known to have been built by ancient powerful beings, and bring whatever they discover back to Earth.
5IVE DAYS TO MIDNIGHT
All-New Miniseries
A four-part miniseries, which revolves around college professor J.T. Neumeyer, who stumbles upon a mysterious briefcase containing a police file filled with details of a gruesome murder - his own. The file, complete with photos of his bullet-strewn corpse and a list of suspects, indicates that the shooting will take place in five days. Though skeptical at first, J.T. realizes, when events begin to mirror those in the report, that the file is real and time is quickly running out. He has only days to solve the mystery of his own murder and hopefully change the course of the future.
STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE
