BTW, going back a page or two, I'm still a little mystified, Jason, about the concept that the one thing fans agree on is that the two-hour pilot was weak as a pilot.
I guess I used too much generality on that one. I'm going by the discussion on this board, and my own personal opinion of the pilot. It was overly talky and it does drag a bit here and there.
Course, pilots in general tend to have problems that end up getting ironed out as the shows go, so it isn't exactly unusual to have a pilot that is a bit lumpy.
The problem is, for a sci-fi show, you have an even more limited time to work out the lumps because of the budget. I don't think it helped that it seemed like the suits at Fox didn't have much confidence with it.
