Just curious if anybody else is looking at this show on ABC, Sundays at 9pm..

"The program follows the adventures of eight astronauts on board the international spacecraft Antares. In a story within the story, the lives of the astronauts are being recorded and broadcast back to Earth as part of an ongoing documentary. In spite of a libido-suppressing device worn by each crew member, romantic entanglement will occur. Further complicating their lives is a mysterious storage pod with a secret impact on their mission, referred to as Beta."

So far I like this show, the acting is pretty good and so far every week you a piece of the puzzle of what is really going on.

I have a set bunch of shows I watch but if this is in an open slot I will definitely check it out, sounds promising.

Watched half of the first episode online before the site went all wonky on me. But from what I saw, I liked.

It actually is a pretty good show, wasn't what I expected at all at least not the sci-fi angle of it.

Sounds kinda like Lost but, you know, in outer space.

Didn't want to say Lost in Space. LOL.

I was thinking about doing a "thread" about this show and you beat me to it!

I think this is a fantastic show, I watch it every Sunday since the premier and I DVR every episode because I'm not sure it will come out on BLU. I think it's an interesting mix of future space/scifi!

If you stand on your head, does the peanut butter still stick to the roof of your mouth?
Isn't a New Year's resolution just something that goes in one year and out the other?
Do nudists have pin-ups of people with clothes on?

I've watched every episode, but the show seems to be losing steam. It is obviously building up to something, but if it doesn't get there soon (and ratings pick up) we will never find out where it is trying to go (maybe they'll release unaired episodes on disc.

Thats the same exact thing that worry me also, I am afraid ABC will pull the plug on the show before we know exactly what's going on.

Watched every episode so far, feel like I cant stop now because I watched so many that I want to know what in the hell is going on with that pod already but damn is the story moving super slow. Its like 10mins of moving forward and 30mins of flash back story, pretty ridiculous, I can handle that but I can see how many people might say its too slow and boring and stop watching, which will lead to the inevitable cancellation and then we will never find out wtf is going on....

Yeah, this past Sunday episode was the weakest one yet,spent way too much time on flashbacks.

I hope they pick up the pace with the next few episodes, or else what little viewers this show as will quickly vanish.

Moefiz · 09-02-2009, 08:20 PM

Ok..this pass was episode was a total let down...

They need to get on with the present story and stop with all the flashback stuff.
