most likely cleopatra 2525 will be of little interest if you do not watch the series when it be broadcast while and i do not think that many people do . but if you be still somewhat intrigued it be a buck rogers in the 25th century premise without space ship and with no budget for wardrobe or production design . in this case the buck rogers part ( cleopatra ) be play by jennifer sky . which one might expect to be a good thing a jennifer be very beautiful and quite talented while and have a nice comedic touch . but a quick glance at the promotional material will show that she be somewhat the worse for have a bad haircut and a salvation army thrift store wardrobe . if you remember how fetching jennifer be during her time on xena her dowdy cleopatra look will be a huge disappointment . with a target audience of teenage boy look to burn their eyeball look at hot fetish attire girl it be not a good idea to skimp on the exploitation value of your heroine or her costume . and they wonder why some series do not attract much of an audience . love it or hate it and buck rogers have hotter costume and much well look guest star . the other two exploitation element be cleopatra two female associate while hel ( gina torres basically play her stock firefly character ) and sarge ( victoria pratt another xena connection an extremely wooden version of natasha henstridge ) . torres do a good job play off the cleopatra character and provide most of the show comic relief . torres sing the theme song and a somewhat lame parody of rick evans in the year 2525 ( exordium and terminus ) ( 1969 ) . you remember the one that open with the word in the year 2525 and if man be still alive and if woman can survive and they may find . i suspect that they give the series it title so that they could butcher this catchy little song although who know and perhaps the title be a homage to buck rogers and they think of use the song later . so and the premise of the show be that the earth surface have be take over by alien call bailies ( not the wkrp one ) and the human have be drive underground . our three heroine fight against the bailies under the direction of a disembodied ( presumably ) female voice ( appropriately refer to a voice ) . unlike buck rogers and cleopatra be kind of a wimpy third stooge and still daze and confuse from her cryogenic sleep or maybe just disorient from the creepy haircut . there be a lot of nice close ups of sky wide eyed and bewilder . like buck rogers the running gag be cleopatra use a common 21st century expression and everyone find it either totally profound or completely baffle . unlike firefly the action be more of that hyper edit xena garbage which be neither realistic nor particularly entertaining . one good gimmick be that the girl travel around spiderman fashion and a sort of web sling through tunnel and shaft in the labyrinth of their underground world . strangely ( or maybe not consider the budget ) these be only half hour episode and except for one two part show there be not enough time for any subtlety and nuance . then again and what do i know . i be only a child .
