Pretty mediocre all around. Sure would be nice if some very good/excellent TV scifi would show up sometime soon.

Did we need yet another Avatar-esque humans are brutes and wreck sweet mother nature sermon? Probably not. May well end up going the same way as Outcasts, but I'll probably stick around and watch it because, let's face it, our options are limited.



Got to agree, looks and smells like outcasts.

SyFy used to have some of that until they cancelled them.

I'll keep watching for at least a few weeks. It had its weak spots, but if you went solely based on the pilot, I would've missed out on The X Files and Babylon 5, neither of whose pilots really grabbed me. Ditto Firefly's "The Train Job."
Most shows need some time to get going. In the case of all too many, it's after the viewers have left and the show gets cancelled just as it gets good...

Well, seeing as that's the way we are heading it would be a big possibility that the Earth will be that way when the series takes place. I'm watching it at the moment and am 30 mins in and currently like it, certainly better than that series where the aliens have invaded Earth (can't remember the name it was that bad).

Ah yes, you mean "Falling Skies" which is currently being run on TNT in the US.
