Time Trax / My Favorite SCI-FI Shows / Overview: SCI-FI TV Shows in Alphabetical Order

When I have watched all 2 seasons, I most likely will personalize this text.

Time Trax is a SCI-FI Time Travel TV show, which first aired on January 20, 1993 and the final episode aired on December 3rd, 1994. The show was cancelled after two seasons. Time Trax is created by Harve Bennett (Star Trek), Jeffrey M. Hayes and Grant Rosenberg. It stars Dale Midkiff & Elizabeth Alexander. It is an American show but was largely filmed in Australia because of budget constraints.

Premise:

In the year 2193, over a hundred criminals become fugitives of law enforcement by traveling back in time two hundred years to a parallel Universe, using a time machine called Trax. Darien Lambert is a police detective of that period who is sent back to 1993 in order to apprehend as many of the fugitives as possible. He is assisted by the Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive, or SELMA, an extremely small but very powerful computer (described as equivalent to a mainframe) disguised for the mission as a credit card; SELMA communicates through a holographic interface which takes the visual form of a woman. Lambert is also equipped with a Micro-Pellet Projection Tube disguised as a keyless car alarm remote, which can stun targets or engulf them in an energy field, rendering them transportable to the future. This process, executed by SELMA, incorporates a transmission sequence to send the criminal on his way. Dr. Mordecai Sahmbi, who was responsible for sending the fugitives to 1993, tries several times to kill Lambert.

Captain Lambert, fearing the possible consequences of altering the timeline, does not actively attempt to interfere with the natural flow of history, although he frequently leaves messages for his colleagues in 2193 (via the personals sections of assorted newspapers). (Premise Wiki)
