Apparently this has been in the works for a while, and they ran the trailer for it at the 2008 Comic Con, but it only released to the web yesterday (this week)? My husband found it on Hulu.

The Ark, starring Renee O'Connor (Gabrielle from Xena)

This is only viewable in the U.S. (I'm sorry!) and only on broadband, since it's streaming. There are 9 (4 minute) episodes up so far. It's really good. I would love to see it become a TV show -- it's awesome to see Renee again, and the actor they have playing opposite her is good, too.

An article about the series.

That episode where she watches the video that her little boy took was mesmerizing, wasn't it? All the hair was standing up on my arms. ETA: But no, I sadly don't know where the 10th episode is, or why it hasn't been posted.

yes, it really was. i think the overt *friendliness* of the intruder made it all the creepier. "oh, hi, gabe."

*pets poor baby gabe, and mommie, watching*

i think it's interesting that we get no back-story on how a school-teacher/mom has such excellent fight skills. i also like how the 50's era, atronaut guy learns, pretty quickly, to trust her abilities, even though she's a "girl."

Passing Lurker:

Ooh, that was excellent! Unfortunately it looks like the production company went under, so those 9 eps may be the entire series.

I was afraid that might be the case. Supposedly there is a 10th somewhere, but it's a mystery what happened to that one.

I was watching Xena last night and decided to check on imdb. Renee is quite busy with a few projects. And I am going to have to checkout the Rome series. I didn't realize Lucy Lawless was on it. She definitely has the classic latin look.
