    Great interview! I think this show has a lot of great potential because looks like there are some “real” writers involved in it. Real sci-fi writers that is… Really the only new show I’ve been looking forward to seeing…

    I really liked the concept of the show, and after watching it… not overly EXCITED, but I am intrigued enough to 1. read the book and 2. give this show a good 8-10 episode chance. It has potential.
