Looking forward to discussing things, and ranting a bit. So far....okay. Love the production values, hate the cliche and shallow characters. The love interests, the very rapid advancement of the father in one day etc., etc.,

I know it's TV formula, but hopefully the show will develop. The pilot while entertaining, left me hating the main characters. Extremely selfish and not at all bothered about the plight of earth and the future, but rather where thier next shag and drink will come from...if this is the new start for earth, it's going the way of the first one fast.

But that's just my jaded side, I think it will get better...just a bit rushed right now.

And is it just me...or did they basically give away already that this is NOT an alternate earth and that in fact they are on the same planet they left...in the past. The carvings and the far from cryptic "control the past and you control the future?" HMMMMM sounds like they've given up the big surprsie already. That's actually refreshing after Lost and Jericho that constantly hid things forever and ever.

Cheers

Hi Gunnerpup--

Hope the show gets better for you. I'm loving it. I think that it's a fine line when you want to appeal to scifi people and get the family viewing in too.
I believe that they said that they are in an alternate time stream. But who knows--they may not be where they think they are. Maybe that is what the writings on the rocks are showing--
Welcome--

Hello. :D

Gun, you've a very interesting perspective on several points here, I think.

What came to my mind, however - with regard to the characters' wearing or not of sufficient concern for the secure future of the Earth; it may be pertinent to consider that they are now some years well into the project, correct?

Also, I would believe that their most immediate objective must be their own survival - which, by the looks of it, is certainly its own demanding ordeal.

I don't know that I would necessarily consider the characters as being selfish in their behavior, or perhaps simply somewhat survivalistic, which would certainly make sense to me.

PS: "Writing on the rocks" isn't ironic, hopefully. :D
