Anyone just watch "Defying Gravity" on ABC?

[Flaxbee]

Pilot episode?

What did you think? :shrug:

I liked it - will see where it goes, but with both Eureka and Warehouse 13 being so damn disappointing, I'm looking for a good science fiction show!

1. I started to watch it, but quit. There was just something irritating about it to me.

It started to seem like it was just going to be a soap opera in space with all of the people too good looking. I would love to see a good sci-fi show but look what happened to Firefly some years ago.

2. anyone else?

No one else watched it last night?

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Looked like Hollywood doing Sci-Fi, not Sci-Fi done in Hollywood.

4. I watched it

hard to tell from just the first two episodes. But the sfx are good. It feels like a working space ship.

Characters, feels like Top Gun ... now with WOMEN!!

The back and forth get's a little irritating, in the timeline.

Haven't decided yet.

5. yeah, same here. But I'll watch it for a few more episosde,

just because there really isn't much else on TV I like. Trying to stick with Warehouse 13 and Eureka, but it isn't easy!

6. Didn't watch it but just looked it up on imdb

Eight astronauts living aboard an international spacecraft on a mission through the Solar System, as the world watches from thirteen billion kilometres away.

13 billion km = 87 AU or about double the distance to Pluto. :banghead:

So, what are they doing out there?

7. I'm 15 min into this show and I'm finding the dialog to be forced and fake.

These people look irritating to me. Seems pretty up to par with the rest of the crap thats been coming out on TV lately.

Also is this show supposed to be set 40 years in the future or something? Doesnt look very future-like. I still see flat panel monitors everywhere, I figure by then we would have like holo monitors or something? Where are the flying cars?!

8. Episode 3. This is Greys Anatomy in space.

When the hell are they going to explore planets? These astronauts seem to be real douchebags and idiots.
