An electronic parasite slithers from his mouth and forces its way down the Confessor's throat. The team fends off a group of Betrayers trying to get a hold of the Confessor and return to the lab. Mauser puts the Confessor in a healing tube and runs a full medical diagnostic. They learn that the parasite is a Bailey-engineered data retrieval unit that is downloading everything in the Confessor's brain, which explains why the Betrayers wanted him so badly. The Confessor convulses and dies and the parasite exits his mouth to look for new host. The bug breaks out of the healing tube and invades Hel... The Betrayers from the bar find the lab, but Sarge secures the area before they c

EP8 Juggernaut Down Nov 27, 2000

Showing Creegan her removed Voice receptor, Hel promises to turn Voice over to him if he will help her find her father. Naturally, Creegan agrees to the deal. Meanwhile in Mauser's lab, Sarge is awakened by the sound of Voice in her head and is none too pleased that she is the new recipient of a Voice receptor.

EP11 The Soldier Who Fell From Grace Feb 12, 2001

Hel, Sarge and Cleopatra are in Mauser's lab when a distortion grenade suddenly rolls through the holographic door. After a moment of chaos, the grenade explodes and a wave of visual distortion ripples through the area. The team stumble around completely disoriented as two men, Marcus and Strayton , enter the lab. They wear high-tech goggles that negate the effects of the distortion and easily fend off Hel and Sarge. Marcus introduces himself as the new team leader and Strayton as his second in command. Hel and Sarge exchange a look because they recognize Marcus' name. He was the first team leader that Voice recruited when the Resistance began. Marcus tells them that Voice has put him in charge because she feels they have endangered critical Resistance missions that have nearly exposed Voice herself.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
ParanoidAndroidMarvin In 2000, with Hercules and Xena winding down, two new shows were created in an attempt to fill the void. One was the Bruce Campbell vehicle, Jack of all Trades, the other was Cleopatra 2525. The shows didn't attract the viewers that their predecessors had, and were cancelled after the first and second seasons, respectively. I had never paid much attention to syndicated television shows. To me they had always been dumb, late night entertainment, something to watch when there's nothing to do, but you're not tired enough to go to bed yet. Then one day, while flipping through one dull show after another, I landed on Cleopatra 2525. I was hooked. But why? I was above this mindless entertainment, wasn't I? What led me enjoy a series by the same people who spawned Hercules and Xena? First of all, to be honest, the fact that the show revolved around women in form-fitting suits didn't hurt initially. Secondly, the show was basically Science Fiction, a genre I love, as opposed to Fantasy, which I'm less receptive to. In addition, I found that the very reasons I had avoided such shows might have been one of their greatest qualities. The fact that they're not taken seriously allows them to slip many things in ‘under-the-radar', and most don't pick up on it because the figure it's just brain dead entertainment.However, I didn't find it at brain dead all. There were, here and there, some wonderful and surprisingly original Sci-Fi elements and even, believe it or not, some good stories. Many of Cleo's writers have impressive resumes, and have worked shows such as ‘Buffy', ‘The Outer Limits', ‘The Pretender' and ‘Enterprise'. Remarkably well assembled for a syndicated show, I believe it had underlying themes and allusions that many failed to recognise. This is largely because they, as I had in the past, looked at these shows only superficially, not bothering to entertain the possibility that there was more going on.The basic premise of the show is very interesting. Consider the fact that all three of the leading characters are women. Their unseen guide ‘voice' is, in fact, that of a female. Mauser, the one male in our group of heroes, seldom leaves the base of operations, and attends to many of the ‘housekeeping' duties, such as repairing equipment, etc. Another interesting note on Mauser is that he was formerly a Betrayer, a being who aids in the enslavement of the humans. Hel's personal arch-nemesis, Creegan, is also a male. There are some intriguing implications made here, and one can draw their own conclusions upon watching the show. Needless to say, the show examines gender roles and stereotypes. All this serves as an example of the elements of the show that slip by, unnoticed by those who fail to examine the show beyond its surface. Cleo. 25 is very much a typical syndicated show superficially. Women in form fitting clothing, incessant comedic relief, and action strung along on a shoestring budget. Deceptively, under this lies some interesting concepts and enjoyable characters. The show does have it's fans, and you can running into them online is always a pleasure. Perhaps, by some strange twist of fate, we'll encounter Cleopatra 2525 again one day.
Ripe Peach Oh, they *did*. Never have I been so happy to hear that a show had been canned. Tapert and Raimi, HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME.You can see where the concept for this came from. A cryogenically frozen stripper waking up in a dystopian world *could* have worked, had it been done with post modern awareness and huge panache. There was a parody in here trying to get out, but it was clubbed to death in committee. There are so many sub-genres and shows that could have been gently tweaked while Cleopatra 2525 found it feet and carved it's own niche, but they made the mistake of trying to play it straight from the start, and failed miserably.The three leads are blank faced and anonymous, with no real character or presence, and they either can't act, or aren't bothering to try. The title character is Jar Jar irritating, the scripts are adolescent fanzine quality, and the dialogue is simply nauseating. The premise and outfits suggest titillation will be on offer, but Cleopatra doesn't even have the courage to make good on that promise.Other Action Pack shows make a virtue of their cheesy natures by involving the audience in the joke. Cleopatra instead tries to deny it's own essential idiocy and presents itself as straight faced science fiction. It's not charming, or quirky, it's simply drab and awful, and it should have been drowned at birth rather than allowed to slither its way onto the screen. BAD Action Pack! BAD!
Victor Field From the setup (a young woman is cryogenically frozen in 2000, is defrosted more than 500 years to arrive in a world overrun by a terrible threat to mankind, and falls in with heroic freedom fighters) to the characters - particularly our heroine, who's very cute in a Chiana-from-"Farscape"-but-non-albino kind of way - "Cleopatra 2525" is as close to a live-action cartoon as any TV series in recent years has come. This in itself is no bad thing, especially since animated shows have long been worthy of more attention than they often get... but unfortunately the show isn't exactly on the level of "Batman," "Gargoyles" or even "Mighty Max." In fact, it veers closer to the quality threshold of "Rude Dog and the Dweebs" - with Cleopatra very definitely being the dweeb in this scenario. It might actually play better if it was animated, and its half-hour length wouldn't seem like so much of an anomaly (the show seems a bit rushed and compressed at this length, perhaps because half-hour action shows haven't been widely made in live-action for decades, whereas in animation they never went away and hence they never lost the knack). But while it can't compare to the Slayer, the Warrior Princess, Seattle's Dark Angel or even Townsville's Powerpuff Girls, you have only to watch "VIP" or the later episodes of "Lexx" to realise that it could be worse. And my thanks to the uncredited people responsible for the special version of the horribly depressing and depressingly horrible "In The Year 2525" - most of the words are changed and the tempo made more upbeat, resulting in a vast improvement over the original. Not that I'm sorry the show got cancelled, but at least it got something right.
tripperM ya know the concept of "guilty pleasures"? yeah, you have 'em, like admitting you watched - and enjoyed - goonies, battlestar galactica AFTER they reached earth, v the series, charlie's angels, starsky & hutch, the 1950s version of superman, or godzilla movies.here's the ultimate in guilty pleasures. coupled with jack of all trades in a sam raimi action packed hour, this half hour slot is fast paced, easy to follow, and loaded with fun-to-watch scanlity-clad babes.the man that brought us evil dead, xena, hercules, and the adventures of brisco county jr does it again with this 2000 update of charlies angels. we got charlie (voice) an unknown being that has the knowlege and the time to find people who need help, bosley (mouser) the gadget man, and three gorgeous babes that kick a** for a living.and oh what a living!
