Finabair Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I saw the first episode of this show on June 6, 2008 and was totally lost. Alphaverse? Betaverse? Gammaverse? I sorta "got it" when the words appeared on the screen, but couldn't figure out if Jade was seeing all these Alterverses (my word) at the time they were happening. So, I decided to do a search on it on the SciFi Channel's website and found out it premeired all over the rest of the English-speaking world in 2004. Now it's here in the US and, well, uh, is it worth watching? Is it still in production with new seasons coming out? If not, did it have a acceptable ending? And what's with the biddies running the experiment? Sheesh! Questions, questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vystral Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd like to watch it, but the SciFi rewind site doesn't have it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finabair Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'd like to watch it, but the SciFi rewind site doesn't have it... Yeah, the SciFi Channel has precious little on this one. I did a Google search on it and found a lot of stuff, including YouTube videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjRHXgJVQcA ...and Wikipedia entries... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Jade Evidently, 20 episodes were aired and from what I've ferreted out, only one season was produced with the fan-base clammoring for a second. Dang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amnot Borg Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I had to look this one up on Google myself before it came on tv. There seem to be, at least, 3 main alternate universes. Betaverse is ours with Cape Town. Alphaverse has Cape City and more technology and pollution. Gammaverse may not even have cities. Charlie Jade is from Alphaverse and is trapped in Betaverse. There is someone else from Alphaverse also trapped. She caused the explosion that trapped Charlie. She seems to be a terrorist or freedom fighter. There is a company trying to gain power in all 3 universes. She fights them. A guy named O1(oh-one) seems to be able to travel between universes all by himself. He's a serial killer and a (little?) loony. ;) The creators of the show also tinted the scenes so you can tell which universe you are watching by the the overall tint. Green(alpha), blue(beta) or red(gamma). Probably helped them figure out how to keep things separate themselves. Charlie Jade also seems to be able to travel or see multiple universes but thinks he's suffering hallucinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
