I missed the first 20 minutes of the pilot. Then I was excusing lameness for the next 30 as possibly due to me missing the set up and then 1st episode exposition. The end for me was after the chase with the sixers & dinos - they used camera shake to try to fool us that it was more exciting than it really was, then after the action is over they are just standing there blabbing with guns raised, but the camera shake hadn't stopped!

I figured it out. The reason i'm so annoyed at this show. It took the wonder of the Mesozoic era, and turned into a gorram joke. And if humanity is trying to start over, breaking up into waring groups, as soon as you've arrived in your new/ old world, is a piss poor new beginning.

I really don't get all the hat for this one. It's not a masterpiece or anything but it's not terrible. It reminds me a lot of Star Trek. Some unexpected thing goes wrong, the characters flail around trying to figure it out, pseudoscience mumbo jumbo, everything goes back to normal. Could be much worse.

All the stuff you're negative about... *this* is the show you defend?
Which is absolutely your prerogative, of course. It's just... you know.... huh (said in that distinct "Mal just opened the box" way).

This one has dinosaurs. Once I put my finger on the star trek vibe I even started liking it even more. It's star trek from a different perspective. Rather than focusing mainly on the captain this one has a focus on a family that is just part of the crew.

I just did a quick check on IMDB and apparently it is 'Wash' as in short for Washington, her last name. Plus, aside from Malcolm and Reynolds being used there is also another character called Zoe.
I say it's just coincidence at the minute but I'm sure others will read more into it. If they add another name then I might change my mind - assuming I'm still watching by then.
There was a good post at televisionwithoutpity:
"His name is Reynolds. It would seem that eventually all the character names from Firefly are going to show up, or at least there will be a scene where Malcolm, Reynolds, Zoe and Wash get together to hear Josh play this new song he wrote about how no one can take Skye from him."
But I found another. The leader of the Sixers (that group of seemingly normal colonists made into angry tribal-makeup'd outsiders by a powerful conspiracy, sporting a nickname that ends in "-ers") is named Mira. Mira, which is short for... (all together now)

I missed the episode on Halloween, did anyone see it and could summarize it for me?

Content anyone? Opinions about it don't tell me what actually happened.

Sorry 'bout the quick retort, but at the time I couldn't muster enough interest to bother summarizing it for you. It was basically a murder investigation that saw a couple of misdirections as to a suspect, interspersed with the family-friendly "let's watch a dinosaur egg hatch" scenes with young Zoe and her mother.
Or to put it even more bluntly,
