Looking forward to it. I love his work. Starts in a few minutes, going on the DVR for later viewing. How many episodes will there be?

I think there's six, plus some extras.

I'll be checking it On Demand tomorrow but thanks to being Jim Cameron, he was able to get amazing guests.

It also puts Cameron back in the public consciousness as we move toward the upcoming AVATAR movies.

The first episode wasn't what I was expecting. I just assumed, incorrectly, it was going to be Spielberg and Lucas talking shop with Cameron for an hour. But it was basically just a clips show. And I really didn't learn anything new I already didn't know. Spielberg and Lucas did talk to Cameron a little, but didn't say anything I hadn't already heard them say before. It wasn't bad at all. I guess I was just expecting something different.

There was the occasional tidbit I didn't know about, like the lady who was ET's hands. For the most part it was a talking heads show and not very informative. I will keep watching.

Pretty scattershot in its approach to the subject; they obviously don't trust viewers attention spans enough to present any kind of sustained historic narrative or thru line, they just jump around. Oh yeah, we promo-ed Spielberg, let's get back to him. Oh, yeah, squirt a little Lucas in there. I've seen much better documentaries as extras on science fiction classics.

And Cameron better acknowledge his enormous debt to The Outer Limits somewhere in the series, or that will be the elephant (or should I say Qarlo and Bertram Cabot Jr.) in the room.
