Pacing was way too fast. It should have taken 2-3 hours in reach some of the story points concluded a half an hour in. It seemed extremely edited.
Still, though, I appreciate the effort. I heard ABC is already forcing changes to make it less an (unintentional?) Obama parable.
I think it was heavily edited, they changed the show producer and demoted him, maybe because of the similarities between the aliens and Obama
If you watched the initial episode, I think you'll agree that any change to tilt the story line away from Obama would kill it.
I liked the 1st episode, but you’re absolutely right. Not much of a shock to learn that our benefactors are evil reptiles, when that’s revealed after about 30 minutes.
