Has anyone here seen the 1970's series Survivors? Its about a virus which destroys most of Humanity, and a group of people come together. But they face the many other small groups, which believe they can take the law into their own hands.
A remake was made in 2008 This is the original intro... Edited by StarTrekFanatic1701, Oct 3 2011, 04:43 PM.

I've seen bits and pieces over the years, but never followed it all the way through. The pedigree, though, is what in part makes it as good as it is reputed to be. |

^^^ It's a very "grown up" show. A very dramatic series with sci-fi plot line, but no aliens, no monsters, nothing "supernatural" at all. Obviously the sort of show BBC would have taken a chance on back in the day but would never have seen the light of day in the US. |

^^ I just looked the show up and half expected someone involved in this series to have been involved with the movie "Contagion" that I recently watched. No connection that I could see. However, Terry Nation (the show's creator), is/was a writer on many of the episodes from the current Doctor Who series (2005- 2010). He was also a writer/creator of Blakes 7. I haven't seen that one either, but it is well liked. |

^I knew he did Dr Who, but I had no idea he did Blake 7!! I've seen a few episodes of Blake 7, but didn't enjoy it very much, but my dad loved it! So, you never know... @Swidden, I'm not to surprised that it wasn't played in the US, because my parents had to order the first season from London back in 1993. My mum got so excited when I found the DVD box set when I did a little bit of research, she said she was going to buy it with her christmas money. I find it to be the kind of show you can watch again and again without getting bored. I love it ![]() |

Ok, its taken me a while to find this thread, I didn't expect to find it in the Sci-Fi section? Just a little curious why its here, I don't believe its Science Fiction, more of a drama... Ok after a little research I can see how it could be classified as Sci-Fi...
But still, it must be on the edge of Sci-Fi, and heading right into the drama area.... Strange, I don't really understand how thats classified, but as long as we got there in the end.... Anyway thats got nothing to do with what I was originally going to say. I was just saying that the lead actress from the first season is in several star trek episodes from next gen to voyager, I can get a list if you want... |

^^ I left a redirect link up for a while, but went through and removed a few recently. Sorry you got lost. ![]() "Survivors" is categorized as post-apocalyptic fiction which is a sub-genre of Science Fiction.

Source That definitely sounds like science fiction. -----
Go ahead and list a few. Not sure which actress you are referring to. |

Ohh, I recognize her now. I didn't know she had done so many Trek roles though. In full hair and makeup, "you" don't always make the connection that so and so actress also portrayed another character. Especially on different series. |
