Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Anybody else remembers the two-season 90s series Nowhere Man and The Visitor? I'm considering to watch them again. Have you watched them lately? How do they hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I haven't watched Nowhere Man since its initial run, but I loved it at the time. Never seen The Visitor. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,463 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yes, of course! Quite liked both shows at the time. NOWHERE MAN a bit more than THE VISITOR, perhaps, but both are nostalgic favourites. Wonder how they would have held up today, had I rewatched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NL197 368 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 THE VISITOR is my HOLIEST of HOLY GRAIL scores. David Arnold's hidden gem of a score. Very much an extension of his more tender material from Independence Day, with a bit of an X Files synthesized twist. Been banging the drum to get it released just as Lokutus has on the FSM board. We are literally the only two who ever mention it. It's still my favorite television score in existence. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,463 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Arnold only did the pilot, but yes -- it's a great one, very much in the mold you speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,463 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 NOWHERE MAN is smack in the middle of Snow's X-FILES sound, of course. Those two and MILLENNIUM were born of the same ilk. Not all was equally great, but there's a fine album hiding in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Btw, what was the name of that 90s series where a group of people traveled to another, unexplored planet, and then aliens started to appear from underground and dragging people under?

Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yeah! It started well, but could have been better overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yea pretty much. Like a lot of shows from that time if they could have just gotten renewed the second season likely would have been an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilot score is all I would love for LLL to make an album of. The finale cues are gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a promo of the pilot score -- superb, expansive theme by Bergeaud, although the rest of the score is rather harsh and dissonant. But should definitely have a soundtrack album. [Edit: Damn it, after checking, it seems I lost that promo in my harddisk crash a year ago, and my CD-R was thrown away years ago when it started skipping. Need to re-acquire it somehow] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,463 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Well, the new LOST IN SPACE reboot is kinda EARTH 2-ish in its basic premise, so it would be a hard sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 If I recall correctly, Nowhere Man was wrapped up nicely-ish. How did The Visitor end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,463 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can't remember. On a cliffhanger, probably. Perhaps NL 197 remembers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Nowhere Man, don't worry; take your time, don't hurry. Nowhere Man, the world is at your command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show ended with Adam going "on trial" by other abductees who debated over whether he helped or hindered in his plans to open people's abilities. Characters from past episodes returned to basically offer testimony. Colonel Vise was injured and Adam saved his life only wanting Vise to leave him alone, and telling him that he's not a threat. The FBI team were investigated (I think it was all the otherworldly stuff was too much to take with credibility) and they were taken off the case. I can't recall if it was a firing or reassignment. The last scene I remember is Adam vowing to keep searching for his son (I don't remember if he ever found that he died or not) and helping others while walking away on a beach. So the show did have a proper ending, just a heavily rushed one. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
