I liked it. I also liked the way the shuttles were clearly just repainted SGU Destiny shuttles.

The Destiny shuttles were gone a long time ago. Joe's blog shows pictures of the Dark Matter shuttles being built.

New Episode Episode 2 The crew come to terms with revelations about their respective pasts; at the same time, they face the dilemma of helping the miners against insurmountable odds or abandoning them to certain death.

So it looks like they are going to be following the comic pretty closely for the near future.

Well the comic is pretty short. I'm guessing the end of the second episode will be the same ending as the comic.

That means she's probably the sister of 1, whom they had to rescue from a mega corps secret research facility, where they had been making her into a psychotic killer, yeah?

They didn't discuss who she is in the comics either, but my guess is that she is a kidnap victim.

I liked the resolution to the colony situation. Have another megacorp get the planet rights to screw their competitor from being able to mine the asteroid field effectively! Alternatively both megacorps sit down and realize they should work together, then kill all the miners so they don't have to share the profit

One thing that bugged me about the big fight scene in the reactor was the part where they first start and 1 runs right in front of 3's gun. It was just bad staging because it undermined the whole "they're trained killers" thing.

Every time he fires he looks like he's going to piss himself. Also, that has to be one of the most half-assed one-(okay two) episode romance ever. (Otherwise, I quite liked it. Tori Higginson was pretty good too -- though I've always liked her).

Dude... don't get bogged down with space travel details, you can hand wave it away for more than a handful of reasons. They had a neighbouring mining concern... hence the need to act quickly and gently caress up some miners

I very much want this show to succeed. I love Canadian scifi, I love Roger Cross and the Stargate guys and I'll keep watching but something just seems off about this show. It checks almost all the major scifi checkboxes for me to love it but something isn't clicking. Hopefully its only because we're on episode 2 and they just need to find their legs.

They really needed to do something bigger for the first two episodes. The colony story feels like something that should have happened part way through the season to fill time.

I did not enjoy Episode 2. I thought the dialog was cringeworthy. I hope Rodney McKay shows up quick so I can drop it after I see what's his deal.

Watched episode 2 last night and realized that it's a Seven Samurai remake. Well at least up to the point that they didn't all die defending the villagers from the bandits err evil mega-corp.

So, what is it with all of the guys (including the one who is nothing special and the one who can only hit things a few feet away aka the cramped confines of a ship) going on the away mission while all of the girls (including Kung Fu dual pistols lady and an unstoppable killer robot) staying behind to tend the home front? And also could those firefight scenes be staged even worse than what we saw?

Well, the captain at least saved the day. I don't even recall the other two women being in this episode, which seems like an odd choice for only the second episode.

Xtanstic posted:Not Jayne wasn't as grating because that mantle was passed to Heart of Gold Audience Stand-in let me walk in front of Jayne's gun I cringed so hard when he did that, you'd think the director or someone would have pointed that out. Especially since the scene was supposed to be showing how bad rear end they are. I think this episode was better than the first overall, I think they may have tweaked the characters a bit to make them more palatable.

One thing they definitely need to do sometime soon is show that 1 is good at something. Right now he just kind of sucks at everything and is annoying, they need to give him a positive character trait and soon.

I'd argue that being good is indeed a positive character trait, it's just not terribly interesting or useful to the group. He can't even act as the group's conscience, since the other's don't really accept his moral authority, they either share his views in some cases or they don't. Since I haven't really paid much attention to this, is it set in the same universe as Killjoys? Was there a sale for very built actors in Canada? The crew is very muscular/athletic for science-fiction, compared to things like Stargate, Star Trek or even BSG. (Speaking of which, everything good BSG did was done better by B5 a decade earlier).
