Scott Wolf? Seriously? No way I'm watching this turd.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
not sure which one or who is scott wolf but dropping in on the middle of an episode isn't the best barometer for a show that builds tension and momentum as it goes. to each his own though, of course.

It's a perfectly adequate means of checking out the quality of the acting and dialogue and how naff the casting is. (Black alien; black girlfriend...what decade is this?).
It's poor form to drop into a thread like this and belabor how bad I thought what I saw was. I've shared my reaction to it so I'll shut up and leave this to the people that plan to watch the show.

I was prepared to hate it too, but honestly unless you watch from the first episode on, it isn't fair to judge the show entirely from 20 isolated minutes. The acting may not be the greatest, but you could honestly say that about 99% of the TV dramas out there, even some of the darlings of critics are laughable compared to movies. This show holds my interest, and I'll leave it at that. I'm not trying to convert anyone, though I think I'm a knowledgeable judge of poop.
