GREAT SHOW, canceled by Corporate Sociopaths


I am watching this series just now, on sick leave and I was searching for something new to watch. I must say, it is absolutely great show, with depth, and if one watches through it, this show ask some basic fundamental questions, every person should think of, and as him / herself.

But the problem with corporate sociopaths is that they only see the money, and money is in reality shows, and series which basically are stupefied, shallow and fundamentally made in the same clichéd ways.

Thus this show is cancelled and so many others that are really crappy are still being made, even thou they should have been cancelled after first few parts.
I like a Sci-Fi shows, but there are very few out there which are good. Some people compare it with shows like Star Trek, or are hang up on trivial things, which are not even an issue. It is SCI-FI - - and science can be a bit made up. I mean first parts of Star Trek were Sci-Fi, made up and years later they became reality.

So this problem so many smart behinds have, with communication delay. I would think that it is not a plot hole or an issue, because at the time this show is happening, these problems would be solved. “Your argument is invalid”. Who knows what other advances we’ll make, so bickering about trivial issues just shows that people miss the true depth of this show, the message.

They actually have no “out of the box” thinking, nor they can actually think logically about Sci-Fi issues, ideas and fantasy - - - well sometime in the future - - our reality, even Star Trek is today science fiction - - but who’s to say, that years from now, it would not be a reality in some form. We DEFINITELY are not alone - - that’s for sure.

I love the characters, their development, script, ideas, the camera work over all I like everything about this show, and I am very critical about “my shows”.

What is your take on it?

The funny part of your posting is that you can apply your posting to both the realworld as well as the show setting itself.

The guys in the show also are trying to make money. Money and sex, thats basically all they're thinking about.

Oh, and there are all kinds of riddiculous mental and socialization problems in people who have been selected to work as freaking astronauts.

I love Laura Harris to bits, but having to rewatch this show would be a bit too much to ask for.

Just starting to watch it now, i have only seen the first 2 episods but so far i am enjoying it greatly. Sadly sci- fi shows tend to get cancelled after a season or 2 by the suits unless they carry the name "Trek" or "Gate" then they just meander on endlessly way past their used by date.

That's the truth ... is there a conspiracy to make people shy away from science fiction because the shows never go anywhere?
