As I said, man-eating Lizards from space is not my idea of good Sci-fi. It does not matter to me how relevant the show may be. I'm more of a "wagon train to the stars" kind of viewer.
I recommend trusting freepers over what you’ve read somewhere else. justlurking is exactly right about this.
I agree regarding the SciFi aspect, boring and predictable. But as political commentary? It was very surprising just how relevant the first episode was. I was prepared not to like it, but will probably watch the next episode. Unless obama has it canceled...
