Essentially an ensemble show, primary focus was on student Marian Kitt as she came to terms with her (frequently unwanted) abilities. Although the series gradually built up an overall storyline of a strong evil power targeting the group, its cancellation meant that this was never properly resolved. Famed horror director Tobe Hooper directed one episode, "Souls On Board", and the series' writers included Glen Morgan and James Wong (also executive producers, with Brancato and Ferris), who had previously written for shows including The X-Files and Millennium and created, produced and written for Space: Above and Beyond. Morgan's wife Kristen Cloke played the significant role of Allison/The Woman in the episodes "The Ones That Lie in Wait" and "Life Is for the Living". The series was filmed at Paramount Pictures (which coincidentally purchased DreamWorks in 2005), with the exception of the pilot episode, which was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Note that the episodes were seemingly broadcast out of order. The sixth episode "Luciferous" should have been the second episode as it deals with Marian's decision to join the group. The 12th episode "Life Is for the Living" should clearly have been the last one, as it is the end of the story (all of the main characters are killed), a story which is oddly unresolved in the 13th episode. It is believed that episode 13 was delayed and should have been broadcast several episodes earlier. |
