The Hunt - Season 4

Humankind has proven to be unique among life forms - distinguished not only by its lofty intelligence, morality and self awareness...but also by a baser side: It is the only creature that kills for sport. As machines grow more human, we must be wary that we do not become less so.

Criminal Nature - Season 4

With every scientific advance, we grow closer to unlocking the mysteries of life and creation. But what have we gained if in the process, we lose our humanity. The most powerful thing we pass along to our children may not reside in the genes, but in the soul.

Relativity Theory - Season 4

When we have conquered interstellar space, what will we gain? A new perspective on ourselves... or only a wider scope for our arrogance? Cultural relativity. It doesn't need to be a complicated theory. Indeed, it can be as simple and as deadly as a two-edged sword.

Glyphic - Season 4

Human beings naturally fear that which is unknown or different. But unless we strive to conquer those fears, they may exact a price far greater than we can bear...It is said the human capacity for language is the quality which separates us from all other species on Earth. Perhaps it is also the same quality which can link us to those beyond...but only if we are willing to listen.

Josh - Season 4

They say "Seeing is believing" but the true question is: What do you believe you've seen? Throughout history, the search for faith has lead man to look to the stars and the heavens for answers, but only by looking into ourselves may we truly find it.

Fear Itself - Season 4

Experience teaches that, of all the emotions, fear stands alone in its power to move us, or to capture us in its grip forever. In a world of terrors, there is nothing more fearsome that the unknown...especially when what is unknown is ourselves.

The Vaccine - Season 4

Along with futures we dare not imagine, come choices we dare not make. Though Survival of the fittest is the cornerstone of evolution, perhaps, the meek shall inherit the earth after all...

To Tell The Truth - Season 4

It has been said that for the truth to exist, it takes two people - one to speak it...and another to hear it. Mankind will be forever doomed to destruction if we continue to ask for the truth...but then refuse to listen.

Identity Crisis - Season 4

Since our earliest beginnings, we have always believed in some form of transcendence. But when we finally discover how to transcend our own biological bodies, what exactly will we gain? And what will we leave behind? A great philosopher once said, 'The endeavor to persist in its own being is the essence of the individual thing.' But when the day comes that the mind and body can be separated, what will happen to the soul?

The Joining - Season 4

Our history abounds with the exploits of heroes who brave overwhelming odds and live to tell the tale. But is there a point at which the determination to survive comes at too high a price? It is nature's imperative that the differences among us endure. But what if we can no longer distinguish one being from another?

Final Exam - Season 4

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. But what of the man who possesses too much knowledge? If knowledge is power...and power corrupts...how will humankind ever survive?

Lithia - Season 4

Evolution teaches that the failure of a species to adapt will result in extinction. But could an entire gender fall victim to the same immutable laws? The difference between men and women have been debated among philosophers since recorded history began. If indeed males are by their nature the aggressor, it is this quality that may one day be their undoing.

Mary 25 - Season 4

Our children need protecting from much more than physical harm - just as threatening to the fragile child are the dangers of the mind and the dangers of the heart...Let us hope that no technology will ever exist that can replace human warmth and compassion. For when such a technology does exist, will we cease to be human?

Monster - Season 4

It was once written "To thine own self be true". But how do we know who we really are? Every man must confront the monster within himself, if he is ever to find peace without.

The Promised Land - Season 4

Our most powerful instinct is self-preservation. But what happens when fear and mistrust twist the drive into a force more destructive than any outside enemy...It is one of the great mysteries of existence, how the smallest drop of understanding can cleanse a sea of mistrust and hate...

The Balance Of Nature - Season 4

It is perhaps the central paradox of our existence...to be alive is to be aware of our mortality...Life is by definition a terminal disease. Philosophers and poets concur on one fundamental truth - love will find a way. It's just a matter of time.

Phobos Rising - Season 4

How far will mankind have to go before we realize that the only antidote to self annihilation...is trust. If mankind is to survive, we must learn to trust one another...and that trust begins in the human heart.

Nightmare - Season 4

While some prisoners of war show bravery beyond the call of duty, others succumb to an enemy often more formidable than the one which captured them. In our efforts to plumb the depths of our psychological endurance, we may do more than drive ourselves to the breaking point - we may destroy the very world we're seeking to protect.

Last Supper - Season 3

Events in our past seem to slip further away with time. But what happens when they circle back and meet us head on....in the present? Before we allow ourselves to be consumed by our regrets, we should remember the mistakes we make in life are not so important as the lessons we draw from them.

Stream Of Consciousness - Season 3

We quantify our world in order to learn... We break it down into facts, numbers, information... But how far dare we go before we destroy its mystery? We make tools to extend our abilities, to further our reach, and fulfill our aspirations. But we must never let them define us. For if there is no difference between tool and maker, then who will be left to build the world?

Second Thoughts - Season 3

It is only human to dream of rising above one's limitations... But what if we had the power to instantly acquire the qualities that we envy in others? Would it bring real fulfillment... or a hunger that can never be filled? How easily we scorn what Fate has dealt us and dream of what it has not... Before we cast aside our lots, it would be wise to remember -- that dreams have a way of turning into nightmares...

Bits Of Love - Season 3

We are now able to create devices that can project themselves in our image -- that can not only look like a human, but talk like one, express emotion and... even make mistakes in true human form. Man and machine... we are reaching the point where it is harder to tell which is which... and to guess which one will ultimately survive...

The Camp - Season 3

Our history is filled with grim reminders of our inhumanity. Armies are crushed, populations ravaged. Enemies imprisoned behind walls of stone. But the human spirit is not so easily confined. Of all needs that drive us: hunger, thirst, desire... Perhaps the most powerful is the simple need to be free.

Heart's Desire - Season 3

Those who seek to predict the future... might first look to the past. The past is a mirror -- and those who ignore its sometimes dark reflection, are doomed to repeat it... Will it be those seeking redemption who shall decide the future... or will those driven only by greed and envy shape our destiny? Even a hundred years later, the outcome is still very much in doubt.

Tempests - Season 3

What is freedom but the ability to make choices? Between courage and cowardice... duty and love... or even heaven and hell. The nature of the choices we make define us as human beings. We choose the world we inhabit. Each of us creates his own world... We conjure paradises from our hopes, and nightmares born of fear. What if they are both illusion?

Music Of The Spheres - Season 3

For years we have searched for the answer to an eternal question: Are we alone? As yet, there has been no answer. Or perhaps the answer is only for those with the facility to hear it. It is said that Music is a universal language, crossing the barriers of culture, age, and language. Perhaps, eventually, we will learn that it also spans those of time... and space.

New Lease - Season 3

The quest to conquer death is as old as man himself. We conjure dark angels whose untimely arrival we hope to avert with guile and perseverance. But in the end it is inevitably the grave, not hope, which prevails. If we measure how much we value life solely by our dread of dying, then it may well be that we have no sense of its value at all.

Awakening - Season 3

It is said that emotions are the language of the soul. But what happens when an expression is muted? What becomes of feelings that have no voice? Errant computers can be reprogrammed. Imperfect machines redesigned... but human beings are another matter...

Double Helix - Season 3

Perhaps we should ask ourselves, will the next leap of science be a step into the future? Or a plunge into the abyss? The more we learn about the universe around us, the more we realize how little we truly know. But we will only find what wonders await us if no false walls are built around our explorers and no false restraints applied to the unquenchable human thirst to know it all.

Hearts And Minds - Season 3

In order to survive, a soldier must fight many battles, physical as well as mental. But in the heat of the struggle, reality can sometimes fade, like memory, until only one thing remains certain: the first casualty of war is truth. Humans kill for love, for revenge, for survival, and even for ideas. Perhaps the capacity to kill then is a very true part of nature. But within this behavior, defined by fear, must he also be taught to hate?

Dead Man's Switch - Season 3

Young idealists often dream of having the power to save the world. But would that dream become a nightmare if saving the world could also mean destroying it? Our destiny is controlled by the choices we make. Those choices can turn an ordinary man into a king, or reduce him to little more than a pawn. With the fate of the world in your hands ... what would you choose?

Bodies Of Evidence - Season 3

The search for truth is a uniquely human process; a quest guided by our perception of an event. But what happens to the truth when what we see and what we think we see are two very different things... Some say that the truth is only what we persuade others to believe. If so, we should be wary; for truth is easily and often hidden by the arguments of those who are false...

In Another Life - Season 3

Do we have the power to shape our lives, or are we predestined to be who we are? If our Fate is but one amongst many, then whose life, if anyone's, is real? If our lives are indeed the sum-total of the choices we've made, then we cannot change who we are. But with every new choice we're given, we can change who we're going to be.

In The Zone - Season 3

Evolution is guided by the principle of survival of the fittest. For the human animal, the urge to compete is ingrained in our spirit, but in some arenas the rules are not clear and victory may well be an illusion. For the human race, life is a ceaseless competition for power, for fame, even for love. But when the desire for victory is reduced to winning at any cost, then we can only guarantee our defeat.

Rite Of Passage - Season 3

Throughout history, man has been driven to seek out his origins, to determine whether he's the result of a divine plan or merely the sum of all his yesterdays. But what happens if, at the end of his search, he should discover that he's neither? Every life is a destination unknown; a journey of tragedies and triumphs that ultimately allows us to discover not only our world, but more importantly, ourselves...

A Feasibility Study - Season 3

In a world where change is the rule, we rely on the unyielding constants in life for comfort and security -- that the sun will rise, that the earth will turn. But what if we could no longer be certain of anything? To what then would we cling? For centuries philosophers and theologians have debated what it means to be human. Perhaps the answer has eluded us because it is so simple. To be human is to choose.

A Special Edition - Season 3

Sometimes, to uncover that which is hidden, we must first be made to look... We rely upon others to inform us, but wisdom can never be taught... and we must always decide the truth for ourselves...
