Decided to watch this in the end and so far it's enjoyable and interesting. I like what I see and will keep watching until it inevitably gets cancelled.
Not a bad episode - surprised that Ricky Whittle is in it from episode 5 to episode 13 (according to IMDB) but I'll stick to the end and give it a chance (Ricky Whittle has also made an appearance in NCIS too - look up his IMDB if interested)
I am into some Sci-Fi programmes (use to watch Star Trek:TNG and comedy MST3K) but I think this is different so what the hell
not catastrophically bad like the tomorrow people, but BADLY WRITTEN in so many ways and the characters are BLAND, and literally so quick you are indeed missing half the stuff .....
apparently finding a giant swing is easy
really should have been a two parter just to let everything breathe!!!
and if they think this will do well up against TRUE BLOOD in the same time slot, they have another thing coming!
and since i'm getting that "in other ways" i'm going to bite down on a gag and continue with this, to see if it improves ..... otherwise you're all going for a swim!!!
Is there a reason for the abundance of spoilers in the thread?? It seems pretty self explanatory in the title of the thread as it's clearly typed in bold capital letters incl. exclamation marks.

Well everything gets cancelled eventually. This has at least one more season.
I don't watch any of the shows mentioned so didn't recognise any of the teens.......but one of the military people on the station was from Battlestar Galactica
he was one of the people on the command deck who pressed buttons when Adama said 'turn left' or something..........but he was a main character
haven't seen Smallville either.........but Felix is the man !
I didn't pay much attention tonight when they went back to the space station as I thought that would just be setting the scene for the first episode........but I'm now thinking that half the show is going to involve the goings on at the space station and half will be the teens on earth..........and I'm also beginning to suspect that the space station might be more interesting..........
Despite it being a bit implausable, and a bit ' childish' - not sure that's the right word - I liked it. It reminded me of some of the old Sci-fi stuff I used to read years ago. So if I can will watch it again next week.

You get it sometimes. People whinge that "you don't have to look at them" but for me, it's just no more than a simple curtesy to follow the 'No Spoilers' request.
I didn't mind the first episode, yeah it was cheesy and unrealistic but then this is the future!!
The premise has been done before in other TV and film but I thougght there were a few original ideas along the way. Glad that kid got speared. I would have done it myself when he got all cocky and cheered like he did!!
Janae from Neighbours seemed a bit bland but I do like her so thats a start at least. At least we have the regular adults on the series to balance it out. I'm assuming some of these will end up on Earth at some point if they only have 4 months left.
I think it would have been better as a 2 part opening especially is the first few episodes are a bit rough. I would get them out the way quicker!

there's even a Lost alumnus - Henry Cusick
Janae/Clarke is so annoying = another Lisa Simpson
so will next week be The 99?
he was one of the people on the command deck who pressed buttons when Adama said 'turn left' or something..........but he was a main character

haven't seen Smallville either.........but Felix is the man !

I'll watch next weeks because I always think 1st eps are difficult but this was a very poor effort.
I'm fairly sure that I'm not the demographic this show is aimed at but even so.
I found it better than I thought it would be, but its likely to be a bit teen-angsty for my tastes.
Yes its one of those that you don't need your brain for but that's what good TV is about sometimes
I wonder how the people who were saved were chosen, must have been a pretty gene pool lol
all the shrieks were probably blown out the airlock for being a waste of good food and air
Pretty people are so much more intelligent. Apparenty
