Trouble also comes by sea in CBS's Threshold (Fridays, 9 p.m. E.T.), but this time it's an alien invasion. A Navy vessel is visited by a spacecraft that resembles a shape-shifting Christmas ornament; the boat's surviving crew members have their DNA reprogrammed with alien code and turn evil. So Washington calls in Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), a worst-case-scenario consultant, and assembles a team of eccentric scientists.

Now 20th Century Fox has had the good sense to strip out the filler and serve up the mythology with no chaser. These two themed collections unspool ongoing plot threads from Seasons 1 through 5. If you don't know what "black oil"--a nefarious goo that may be an alien life form...
