Aww, Starhunter. I found two DVDs in my Big Lots and thought I'd give it a try. It does have some parallels with Firefly.

The production is awful, but the ideas were brilliant. If the ideas had been given better actors and better production, it could have been something amazing.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen the end of the first season because they didn't have the DVDs in my area and I never bothered ordering or looking for it online. I did find an ancient online site on it awhile ago and learned about the second season.

Also, I must be the only one who thinks that Michael Pare is an awful actor. I've only seen him on Starhunter, but I thought he was the worst series regular on the show. I always cringed when he showed up.

I did, awhile ago, think of a fanfiction with a Firefly/Starhunter crossover. I mean, it actually seems possible with the two story lines.

T you hit the mark on this review. Its god awful. Dante is like Rocky Balboa. When he finds the brat I would have spaced em. If you had a better story line and actors it would have been called Firefly. I watched it because I am a cheese mogul.

I do agree with you, but they certainly didn't help BloodRayne *spits disgustedly to the side* Another Pare film but I really don't recommend going anywhere near it. I don't care how much a fan of vampire films you are or how good the game may have been.

Uwe Boll was the director... need I say more?

See that Ewe Boll tour de force out now - In the Name of the King? As bad as Ewe Boll is, how much does it say that it's still one of the better flicks in the cinema right now? At least this thing has a decent cast.

T, don't judge Micheal Pare on his performance in Starhunter. Believe it or not, he has had better roles...

I'm working my way through Season 2 of Starhunter. It's called Starhunter 2300. It's not bad, not great, but not bad.

Having a hard time getting past the look of Travis Montana. I'm sorry but he looks like a throw back to the bad part of the 50's.

Piratecat, I'm a cheese mogul too. I own Battlestar Galactica 1980... need I say more?

jewelstaitefan... sigh... I'll probably check it out anyway. Kinda like seeing a bear trap and stepping in it anyway just to see if this time the end result will be different.

Very apt cartoon

I can totally relate. Now as to being a scientist? I dunno... that's a bit of a stretch.

Just found the second series of starhunter 2300

Loved it! The story, and characters worked.
The hyperspace thing I was not so hot on.
The bounty hunting and the back story were very good and had great potential.

Havnt seen the first series so I can't comment on it.

Like most everyone else, I bought Starhunter on sale. I wasn't too keen on the series at first, but kept watching. After about 4 episodes I was hooked.

Sure the budget was practically non-existent, the writing hardly impressive and the acting far from stellar. Nonetheless, there was an interesting story there.

I can forgive Michael Pare - I'm not a fan of his, but I'll take him any day over Clive Robertson. I loved Claudette Roche and was saddened not to see her in Season 2. I adored Tanya Allen! Though I must agree, whether she didn't want to be there or it's how they wanted her to play the role, she completely phoned it in for Season 2.

After finally getting into the storyline, Season 1 ended. I did pick up Season 2. Talk about dissappointment! Season 1 was horrible, but there aren't even words for Season 2!

First, I could never get used to Clive Robertson. I was definately glad to see more of Stephen Marcus and Paul Fox was a welcome addition to the cast. However, Season 2 hardly even touched on the storyline from Season 1. In the end you are wondering what the point of Season 2 was and you still want answers to all the questions Season 1 left you with.

I still want to know more about the Divinity Cluster and what's up with The Orchard? What role do they play in the grand scheme?

I would still recommend Season 1 - but think about Netflix-ing it first. You can find Starhunter & Starhunter 2300 on Netflix in the US.
