[dfergie]

Not me. I will give a pass to further escapades of the Desperate Astronauts and their struggles here on Wysteria Capsule.

DVR'ed it last night, I'll try to watch it sometime this week.
Hopefully it'll be okay. Of course if it is okay, I'm sure ABC will cancel it quickly.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, itll be tonight or tomorrow night before I get to watch.

I 'll pass. I don't see any reason to watch Desperate housewives in SPACE. This show is on in summer for a reason. It didn't have the " right stuff" for prime time season 2009.

 

[SatelliteGAL]

I recorded it also. Maybe I will wait for the verdict before we watch it

 

[gadgtfreek]

I enjoyed the first 2 hours. Dunno why everyone keeps referencing Desp. Housewives.

 

[dfergie]

I was in and out but will watch...(or watch in full)

I found it kind of soap opery. I do have to watch to see what this beta thing is in pod 4 and what the "plan" is and what they're not telling everyone. Damn.

S~

The show reminds me of Ronald D. Moore's show Virtuality that didnt get the green light from fox past the pilot.

The setting doesnt offer room for much triditional Scifi excitment...so the story telling has to be staller...

All in all it was done well, the acting was sound and i look foreward to seeing where this 'setting crippled' story leads.

Yepp, they are def taking a lesson from the Lost model

100 times better than the Virtuality movie.

That's pretty much the only thing that kept me watching for the whole 2 hours. I could care less about the soap opery "she got pregnant" crap, just give me the sci fi and action.

The vascecotmy portion was funny though, "Yes it does hurt, I had it done". Any one who saw my pub thread a couple years ago will know how much I agreed on this.

 

[gadgtfreek]

I also like Malik Yoba and Ron Livingston. Livingston's type of humor cracks me up.

Because it is like a soap opera in Space.

 

[gadgtfreek]

So was BSG and even Firefly, but it was nothing like Desp Houswives......

 

[vurbano]

I hadnt seen Daisy Adair in awhile.

 

[Paradox-SJ]

I hadnt seen Daisy Adair in awhile.

She was on a season of 24 since she was Daisy...

I hadnt seen Daisy Adair in awhile.

She was the only reason I stuck through 2 hours of that drek. Not enough to bring me back.

Okay, let me call it what I heard the network critic of the show called it : Grey's Anatomy in Space. Still a soap opera.
