It's never really gonna ever end is it Liam? Is It?!!

 

Allow me to put the Taken images in context. Taken, also known as Steven Spielberg Presents Taken, is a science fiction miniseries which first aired on the then named Sci-Fi Channel in 2002 and won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289830/

TAKEN - Taken spans five decades and four generations, centering on three families: the Keys, Crawfords, and Clarkes. World War II veteran Russell Keys is plagued by nightmares of his abduction by aliens during the war; the Roswell incident transforms Owen Crawford from ambitious Air Force captain to evil shadow government conspirator; the unhappily married Sally Clarke is impregnated by an alien visitor. As the decades go by, the heirs of each are affected by the machinations of the aliens, culminating with the birth of Allie Keys, who is the final product of the aliens' experimentation and holds the key to their future. 

It won a number of awards for excellence: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289830/awards

This is the show whose images I included in the post. If you love excellent melodramas, then this is worth a watch.

 

NOTES:

Steven Spielberg Presents Taken was in pre-production when 'Taken' by Max Fischer came out in 1999. 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208495 - Wealthy manufacturer Ethan Grover is being held for $2,000,000 ransom; his wife (who stands to inherit the company and collect on a huge life insurance policy) is reluctant to pay. Alan, the company's V.P. with whom she's been having an affair, urges her to get the money, but he may have ulterior motives. Along with Syd, the company's CFO, Alan's been investing company funds off the books to make a quick buck. Syd has his own problems, so he wouldn't mind seeing Ethan dead. Alarmed by his wife's indifference, Ethan has to figure out how to help the kidnaper get the ransom so he can get free. Can he pull it off while he's tied to a chair in an abandoned warehouse? 

 

Then we get the 'Taken" series of films with Liam Neeson from producer/writer Luc Besson - Yes that same director of wonderfully insane The Fifth Element

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taken_(film_series)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/ - Taken I (2009) - A retired CIA operative named Bryan Mills goes out of his way to rescue his daughter and track down and kill her kidnappers after she is taken by human traffickers for sexual slavery while traveling in France.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1397280/ - Taken II (2012) - Murad, the mob boss of the gang of human traffickers and father of Marko, whom Bryan had killed by electrocution, plans to capture Bryan, who is vacationing with his family in Turkey, and avenge their loved ones.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2446042/ - Taken III (2014) - Bryan has been framed for the murder of his ex-wife, Lenore. He then sets out to clear his name by going after the real killers, while also eluding capture from U.S. authorities that he formerly worked for.

While Taken 3 has been billed as the final movie in the series, star Liam Neeson says there’s always a possibility he may do a fourth film.

 

KML Note: Never underestimate the desire to make a sequel to a successful box office film series that many time is so bad it drags the whole collection down with it. May I mention the Die-Hard Films. LOL

 

I hope this clears all of the Taken Mysteries up... :P
