"Surface," the E.T.-meets-Jaws drama that's part of the aliens-among-us trend on TV this fall, has earned a full-season order from NBC.

The series, about mysterious undersea creatures and their impact on a disparate group of people -- and, probably before it's all said and done, the world -- earned its pickup on the back of decent (though not spectacular ratings) that are inching up week by week. The show draws about 10 million viewers per episode.

"[Creators Josh and Jonas Pate] are pulling off a mini-movie each week with a big concept and big production values," NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says. "We're excited to see the audience continue to build."

In announcing the pickup, NBC says only that it's ordered "additional episodes" of the series. Just how many the network plans to air hasn't been determined yet, owing in part to pre-emptions that will take place early next year for the Winter Olympics.

"Surface," which stars Lake Bell ("Boston Legal") and Jay R. Ferguson ("Judging Amy"), has drawn a 3.3 rating among the adults 18-49 demographic NBC uses to measure success. That's been good for second in its Monday timeslot (excluding sports), slightly behind CBS comedies "The King of Queens" and "How I Met Your Mother." Its ratings, both overall and among adults 18-49, have improved in each of the past two weeks after dipping in the first episode after the series premiere.

"Surface" is the second new show, after "My Name Is Earl," that NBC has picked up for a full season. It's also the first of the season's three alien shows (ABC's "Invasion" and CBS' "Threshold" are the others) to earn a pickup.

There we go, after the next two episodes there will be a short break, maybe 2 months max for them to film the next shows and they will finish the season. They did it with Lost as there was a big game in the middle of season 1.

Excellent news!

The best example of this is Prison Break. 9 more eps starting March 20.

I wish they said how many more episodes will be made of Surface. I guess we'll find out in Marchish.

I've seen the episode HC so unless anyone hasn't should be alright.

Not sure about the monkey girl, when i first saw something crying like a little girl i thought it was going to be some kinda 'The Ring' creepy girl with no eyes or something.

I think the flower they found maybe was what 'The Firm' first made before they made Nim's and it somehow can contain age. Thats why the bald guy was searching for it so bad after they nicked it. He has it back now remember so it must mean/do something to him.

The monkey girl didnt make much sense, unless she was the first human clone gone bad. and whats with them leaving the lab deserted with her in it and alive? hmmm, wouldnt they be afraid she would get lose and expose them.

Maybe the bald guy has to use some kind of drug the plant makes to keep him young, I did notice that his gf was deaf, I wonder if that plays a role.

I'm thinking they didnt create the Nimmies but cloned them from extinct creatures. Thinking they could control, perhaps for warfare and it went bad for them.
