four thought-provoking tales of present and future earth are brought to life in
"masters of science fiction," an all-new anthology series featuring a stellar
lineup of actors and directors, and narrated by acclaimed physicist professor
stephen hawking. the series premieres saturday, august 4 (10:00-11:00 p.m., et)
on the abc television network.

what it's about: masters of science fiction is an anthology series consisting
of six separate stories, of which four are being shown on saturdays during the
month of august, 2007. the first episode, "a clean escape," debuts august 4
and stars sam waterston and judy davis.

following episodes will be: "the awakening," staring terry o'quinn; "jerry was
a man," based on a short story by robert a. heinlein and starring malcolm
mcdowell and anne heche; and "the discarded," staring brian dennehy and
willian hurt.

origins: the producers of masters of horror, which has been shown for two
seasons on showtime and is set to enter a third, wanted to apply the same
idea -- an anthology format showcasing top acting talent in high-quality
stories from well-known writers and directors -- to science fiction.

popular characters: malcolm mcdowell, as a custom geneticist, and anne heche
as an extremely rich woman who whimsically decides to save an android set for
destruction, stand out as memorably comic characters in "jerry was a man."
more starkly dramatic are the powerful duo of sam waterston, as an executive
who can't remember the last 25 years, and judy davis as his conflicted
psychiatrist in "a clean escape." also of note: william b. davis's
increasingly desperate president in "the awakening."

flavor: as an anthology show, masters naturally varies considerably from
episode to episode; some are powerful, some are clever, some are playful, some
succumb to preachiness. but the level of quality in terms of writing, acting,
and directing is consistently high, and many of the performances are riveting.

sweet, been looking forward to this. thanks!

looks good. i will check this out.

looks very promising. i didn't know this was coming, so this is a very nice
surprise.
sounds a bit like outer limits, or is it nothing like it?

thanks for this

a little disappointing for the first showing :s still, looking forward to the
rest of the eps.

i was not really impressed with masters of horror season 1
so never worried about downloading season 2...found the shows
slow and not really 'horror', the best one in season #1 was
with william hurt with the toy soldiers, that was pretty cool.
but the rest was a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

so, will hang out and see what popular opinion is on this one.

what an astute critic you are.

uhm, that episode you're talking about wasn't part of masters of horror at all,
it was the first episode of stephen king's nightmares and dreamscapes.
completely different thing.

only four episodes !?!
wtf, im already pissed
ep1 fas perfect

any chance someone has the hr (750mb) version available?

thanks.

yay! i've been looking forward to this.

but only 4 episodes you say? i heard terry o'quinn (locke) is gonna be in two of
them though. so hmm.

just saw the first one.
will definately see the next one.
