This is clever, funny, and has snappy dialog. I can't believe this is a SyFy movie.
share"funny"
brain-bomb! Totally unexpected in execution.
Edit: Holy ...! I didn't see the green monster coming!
"clever"
Somewhat convoluted. Halfway thru, I'll need a repeat viewing to 'get it'.

I have to agree. Wish Syfy would have picked up this show instead of Bitten. This show reminds me of Eureka in a odd kind of way.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is enjoying it.
It’s got something for everyone:
SPOILERS:
Eastern Indian Ninjas? Check.
Brain Bombs? Check.
Hot, Gay Russian spies? Check.
Giant Robotic T-Rex? Check.
Sassy Japanese Pilot Chick? Check.
Amputee with detachable robotic hands? Check.
Giant underground human cephalopods? Check.
Is it too late to develop it into a miniseries?
Dude, it’s Beacon Hills.
Definitely good grins, a nice mix of some serious sci-fi, a little self-deprecating humor, and some interesting tech ideas. Some funny dialog, for sure, and some Bond-like twists and turns. Good solid 7 for these attributes alone.
Clearly designed as a series pilot, based on the ending, but perhaps one that wasn't picked up?

I can't believe they rejected this for a series, this was the best pilot idea I've ever seen from SyFy, instead utter tripe like Z Nation gets aired. Maybe the cost of production was too high for for SyFy, such a shame when there is so much potential here.
I only watched it because of Dana Davis, but I really liked it.
In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.
ARGH my DVR failed me and this didn't record.
They're not airing it again and they didn't put it on their app (of course, nothing is EVER on their app, not sure why they even have one). Not on hulu, not on amazon. And syfy shows rarely show up on netflix.
So disappointed.

I just finished watching and came here to see the banter.
I loved the whole 50s Russian cold war vibe and the ascetics of the costuming ..it reminded me a hell of a lot of something by RAH mixed with some Larry Niven..
Nee ta ma duh tyen-shia suo-yo duh run doh gai si
ITYM aesthetics. Ascetics are puritanical types who practice self-abnegation, etc.
