I only watched "SPACE PRECINCT" briefly, but it could've been better.
It had an interesting premise. A cop from planet Earth on a transfer to an alien planet in outer space. Great idea.
But I thought that the casting choice of Ted Shackelford was terrible. The acting was mediocre. The writing was just okay. The aliens looked ridiculous.
This is how you could make the show better.
First of all, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs a better title. The title just doesn't roll off the tongue smoothly.
Second, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs some A-List or B-List actors. Ted Shackelford? Come on.
Third, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs aliens that look authentic. "STAN WINSTON F/X" could've gave this show excellent special-effects (Puppetry, Special F/X make-up). Throw in some Digital-Effects from "DIGITAL DOMAIN" (owned by James Cameron & Stan Winston) and the show would be been taken to a whole other level.
Fourth, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs to be on a major network like NBC, ABC, FX, USA, or SCI-FI Channel.
If Jonathan Frakes (producer of "ROSWELL") or William Shatner (producer of "TEK WARS") had produced this show, then it would go down in Television history as one of the greats.
