I just have no desire whatsoever to watch this. They have hyped the heck out of it, but it just doesn't pique my interest. Anybody excited for this?

While I remember reading about it as part of the Amazon deal, this is the first ad I've seen for it. Looks good.

Seriously though, I will definitely watch. Been a fan of Berry and she's definitely a draw for me. |

They're really hyping that "executive producer" credit though, aren't they? Sheesh. |

If this is twice as good as the Spielberg produced Falling Skies it will still be garbage. Pass.

I'm a fan of Halle but honestly the previews did nothing for me. I'll pass.

What isn't Spielberg exec-producing on TV these days? I respect Sepinwall as a critic and like the fact they attracted an A-list (TV) director. I'll check out the pilot.

I'll give this a chance.

A serialized science fiction drama with an A-list movie star...uhhh, yeah.

Decent premiere, I'll give next week a whirl. |

12 posts in and nobody even bothered posting about the episode itself. That does not bode well. I guess I'll start.
I found it to be an odd episode- sort of a mix between A.I. and general sci-fi tinged influenced shows/movies. The leads are pretty good, Halle (as usual) is almost too beautiful for the part and you can tell they try really hard during the space station scenes to "ugly" her up (it doesn't work). The kid, well, is very robotic. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know. I suppose you couldn't expect much more than that. As for the plot, well, we don't really know much other than something happens to Halle's character on the space station, real or imagined. She's now pregnant (unknown whether that happened on the space station or not we don't know either). That's pretty much it. :lol: |

81% score on Rotten Tomatoes. I didn't really have super high expectations, but I thought this was really good for the premiere episode. Good mix of weird, WTF and compelling. I thought Halle Berry and Goran Visnjic were both good as the leads. The kid is a creepier version of Haley Joel Osment from AI. I think there were elements of AI and some elements of Gravity here. The flashbacks to Molly's mission were creepy and claustrophobic. Since she was in space for 13 months, I can see them being part of each episode. I can see why they hired Allen Coulter to direct this. He gave it a bigger feel than a standard episode of TV. CBS isn't really known for producing great serialized shows, but I think this is a promising start. |

Yeah, I'll say right off that I enjoyed it much more than I expected. Halle Berry is distractingly beautiful. I had the same problem with "Monster's Ball." The scene when
Spoiler:
Did they try to "ugly" her up on the space station? I didn't notice. She still looked good to me. I'm in, for now. |

I forgot to set my DVR to record this last night. It looks like tonight they are replaying the premiere episode.. I've got my season pass in and set tonight to record the reply of last nights episode.

Halle Berry has thrown off the curve for 47 year old women everywhere.

Halle Berry is so good-looking they should have made her the robot instead of the kid.

She can, but they have really work at it. |

And while I enjoyed the first episode, I found Halle to be the worst part of it. Great supporting cast though. And thankfully the previews gave me hope that other episodes that Halle's character will be more tollerable. |

Looks great for 47, but I personally don't have the same problem as others in being distracted by her beauty. Not sure why. Might have something to do with being turned off by the characters he has played.
