Odyssey's end.

I happened to be looking over my TiVo's todo list, when I saw something I never expected to see...on Friday 10/1, my TiVo is taping an episode of Odyssey 5. Now, I genuinely liked this series. Sure it was goofy, and derivitive as all hell, but it has one downright hot actress and the rest of the cast is pretty likable as well. But I assumed the show had been long canceled, as I haven't taped an episode in something like two years, and my TiVo's only set to tape new episodes of the show.

Well, I looked around, and checked the show's official message boards, and sure enough, the final six episodes of the show, which up until now have gone unaired, will be broadcast on Showtime Too starting on Friday, October 1st, with two episodes each Friday for three weeks.

Incredibly, this conflicts with another sci-fi show Showtime's quietly killing off, as Jeremiah is showing two episodes every Friday on the main Showtime channel. But at least they're re-airing those episodes through the weekend, so I can catch back up on the ones I'm skipping to catch O5.

It's sad to see O5 go like this, but then, technically, it ended two years ago. I'm happy I'll get the chance to see the last six episodes without having to buy the inevitable DVD boxed set (which I can't see myself ever doing...I mean I liked the show, but not that much).
