Repeat:
Does the final episode end on a hopeful note, 'All About Eve', I mean...does it end seeming like they'll be able to get off planet?
This would make all the difference to me if it seemed like all would end up well.

Sorry, Cisall, I was out for a bit.

All about Eve has a typical cliffhanger ending. What will happen to one of our characters. Note that they do kill a few (two out of sixteen?) characters during the show. How they would've resolved the cliffhanger is beyond me. Remember that their goal was to make it to the West Coast to set up camp and prep for the major colony ship, not leave the planet. Failure to get there in time would mean the later colonists would be screwed. They were maybe halfway(?), and would have probably spend at least the next season finishing the journey. On the other hand, in some ways it's not too hard to figure out where they were going with the show, especially thanks to a "glimpse of the future" episode.

I guess it boils down to "how desperate for SF are you?"

As to earlier comments, the Tim Curry episodes are at the beginning, and True is not Uley's sister.

Thanks a lot, Sickdude, that was most helpful. It's on my list behind Buffy S5!

I'm desperate, but after the 30th, I'll be consumed w/multiple goings to Serenity, so I probably won't get to it for some time....

Plus a Cleo 2525! Haven't seen that since Jack of All Trades was goin'!!!!
