So far, it sounds uninteresting... by Watching_Teri_Hatcher_Take_A_Shi t	Jul 1st, 2009 01:36:54 AM

"So far, it sounds uninteresting..." by BadMrWonka	Jul 1st, 2009 02:04:21 AM
really? from the one line synopsis? god, nothing is more reliable than the vague negativity of the AICN talkbacker... and also, their creati...er...retarded names.
Virtuality? by SmallTuna	Jul 1st, 2009 02:38:41 AM
Sounds a bit like the Virtuality synopsis.
More crap like Impact? by The McPoyle Clan	Jul 1st, 2009 04:55:21 AM
Really, ABC? I hate myself for having seen bits of that POS. Even James Cromwell in a flying Cadillac, which should have been unintentionally funny, wasn't.
Space, the next frontier by Big Jim	Jul 1st, 2009 09:06:26 AM
These are the voyages of 8 astronauts from 5 countries. Their 6 year mission is a secret; there is something they need to do but we can't tell you what it is; to go somewhere and do something that may or may not have been done before (you'll just have to watch to find out).
REALLY horrible name by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester	Jul 1st, 2009 09:09:03 AM
God, just the TITLE is a turn-off, inane and pointless. Not a good sign...plus, don't we already have the God-awful snore-fest "Virtuality" or whatever?
Virtuality was horrible. by Banditmania	Jul 1st, 2009 10:59:32 AM
Make it stop.
I think it sounds interesting... by dogrobber	Jul 1st, 2009 11:09:44 AM
...but then again I love the near-future type shows like 'Star Cops', 'Space Island One', 'Planates', etc., so I don't exactly have the best taste in shows.
Will it have the same tired space plot lines? by Norm	Jul 1st, 2009 11:26:15 AM
It'll be 8 carefully chosen astronauts, the cream of the crop. Yet I predict one will be claustrophobic, one will freak out from the isolation, etc, etc. Basically, these professional astronauts will be shown to less reliable under pressure than any Lost character, who are supposedly random average people. That seems to be the only way space shows get written. And I'm betting it'll be small in scale. Will there be moon and mars bases? Exploration missions out to Jupiter and Saturn? Asteroid bases to visit and explore? No, I'm sure it'll just be one ship instead of building a working universe to storytell in. I would love to see a fully fleshed out space-faring culture that is colonizing the solar system used as a backdrop.
Wasn't this already done on a recent Fox show?? by GreatCzarsGhost	Jul 1st, 2009 12:11:06 PM
I don't remember the name of the show but it was on last week. Had a Holo deck like environment and the trip was financed as a reality show which was the weakest part of the show.
A "six-year mission"? Does one of them have pointy ears? by MrMysteryGuest	Jul 1st, 2009 01:42:08 PM

If it's half as good as Salvage 1 by Xiphos_2	Jul 2nd, 2009 03:05:18 AM
Then I'm there!
yawn by darthsynn	Jul 2nd, 2009 06:45:22 AM
I'm sure there will be some sort of stupid love triangle worked into the storyline.
If this talkback is any indication... by tonagan	Jul 2nd, 2009 07:06:26 AM
this show is going to be a blockbuster! I'm being sarcastic!!!

"Hilary, that's an interesting name." by Nasty In The Pasty	Jul 2nd, 2009 09:17:48 PM
"It's German. It means 'she whose bosoms defy gravity'."
Ron Livingston = Sold! by RobFromBackEast	Jul 3rd, 2009 05:00:20 AM
Hugely underrated actor. I'll tune into this for him alone.
This premise by Holy Hell	Jul 3rd, 2009 08:49:42 AM
has huge potential. Huge. Most premise-potential ever. Now it's all about execution. They should get David Simon and Aaron Sorkin and Dave Eggers in a room to write it just to see what happens - it could be genius. And just call it "Gravity".
Who cares when STAR WARS: THE SERIES will be.... by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS	Jul 4th, 2009 11:51:35 AM
..raping your childhoods in...ok, I can't be bothered to look up when it's coming out.
First contact by the podosphere	Jul 6th, 2009 02:09:01 AM
is the obvious reason for sending out a secret UN-style space mission. They may be able to pull this off, but the genre largely appeals to men and Gray's Anatomy largely appeals to women. IOW, nobody wants to see Spock speechify endlessly about his feelings, we want to see him kick Kirk's ass big-time before he gets control of himself. Their real problem is going to be how to replace cast members who act up when the story has them so far from anywhere more humans could board. I'm not saying it won't work; I'm just wondering how carefully they're considering their audience. This could kill in England (where they eat up all the cheese Dr. Who can possibly mold), but IMHO, if it ain't an action show they won't pull in the males.
