Have none of these people seen The Twighlight Zone episode "To Serve Man"? Or at least seen the Simpsons' Halloween episodes?

Or Naked Gun 2 1/2

I just watched it over the weekend, and found it a bit... mehhhh.

It wasn't *bad* (like Defying Gravity or Dollhouse, for example), but it wasn't really *good*, either. I'll keep watching because of Morena and Alan, but that's about it. It only seemed to get even moderately good in the last few minutes, so they really need to keep things moving along...

On the bright side, Marc Singer is nowhere to be seen! :)

I'll say that I liked it but it seemed a bit rushed. I don't recall how long the mini-series was, but this series seemed to expose a LOT in this first hour that the mini-series drew out over 2 or 3 episodes. Or is it just me? It'll be interesting to see how it goes from here. Overall a B- from me, so far.

I have to admit, I recorded the original mini-series from SyFy and realized how hokey it was. But heck, back then anything sci-fi on TV was cool. Especially to a teenager like myself.

I pretty much have to concur with all of the above. Except I'd give it maybe a C+, tops. BARELY above average.

And yes, I recorded the original on Syfy, too. I got *maybe* 25 minutes into it before I just couldn't take it any more, and erased it from the hard drive. It looked like a Quinn-Martin production. Or maybe Belasarius. ;)

So far, I like the series.

And Morena, she seems to have kind of a Merlin thingy going on, as she only seems to grow more attractive over time! :)

Why isn't Morena getting star billing for this show? She's listed down in the credits as "with Morena Baccarin" after everyone else on the show including the guy mopping the stage floors. The "lead" protagonist here, the FBI mom, is not someone who is going to inspire anyone. Faye Grant, she 'aint. And I'm not buying the priest-turned-resistance wannabee either. Still, the show is worth watching for its' potential, but so far it's been rather mediocre in my opinion.

JJ's 'Lost' and 'ER' got better network ratings than Firefly so in ABC's minds Elizabeth Mitchell is the girl to front the show

Networks can be dumb sometimes but I kind of understand where they are coming from

I think its good, the actor brings it across convincing, he's trying to do the right thing but he's conflicted about it. and btw Priests can be bad@ss, its only in modern times they mostly preached that charity, turn the other cheek stuff. Back in the old days Priests could be absolute psychos, Popes went to war instead of doing speeches and the most dangerous kinds of warriors are the ones who know 'God Is On Their Side'

As far as I'm concerned, and from what I've heard from others who've seen the show, Morena IS the show. She is why people are watching. She is the exotic enigma. She is the beauty who is capturing the fancy of a new generation. She deserves top billing, just as Jane Badler got in the original series.

I actually thought it kinda sucked somethin/ wicked. It was as if they had written a 2 hr premiere and then ABC was like guess what fools, 42 min!!! Not to mention it was predictable. If you wanna keep people from seeing someone as a traitor, make them an asshole, not sweet and funny. But Alien Tudyk did surprise me.

People who put cutesy political quotes in their signature should be tortured and fed their own family and/or pets.
