From the badly filmed opening scene to the painfully bad dialogue and weak characterisations, the pilot excels on every level at mediocrity. The score desperately tries to fill holes, practically begging us to believe there's serious drama where there's painfully bad writing and direction. I could dissect this dross and explain every flaw and tell you what they should have done but I forced my way through to the end and that's enough wasted time. I love Sci-Fi. But I have my standards. This rubbish falls hugely below them. *Very* disappointed as I was really looking forward to this.
