Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
So I guess Outcasts is not worth watching on iPlayer then?

Seriously? Not too bad? It was a massive piece of BBC sci-fi poo poo. Put that up against even the shittest American sci-fi series and the American series will look like the loving Wire.

Really? The only decent yank sci-fi in the last decade are Fringe and BSG. SG-1 and Atlantis were fun, but not exactly high quality. Everything else has blown huge puss-dripping syphilitic cock.

That really didn't feel like a first episode, none of the characters were set up so I didn't really care that two of them were killed and I have no idea if those people in the tent scene are aliens or some sort of disease outcasts or what is really going on.

Also the child going on about the tigers feels like a set up to Dr. Who appearing in the next episode.

It's not funny the fiftieth time and constantly repeating, and re-repeating it out of context, and actually analyzing the scene and the performances, ruins an otherwise perfectly good piece of comedy slapstick. The worst thing you can do to a joke is repeat it and dissect it.
So it's quite interesting that Lee bases half of his act on exactly that!

Just kidding, I love him too...

I thought the plot was OK but the *script*, as in the actual lines, failed to make any of the characters appealing or distinct. As in the deep "sad thing involving family* didn't make up for a lack of sparkle, wit and personality in the characters.

Compare it to something like, I dunno, Who or Sherlock where the scripts are really energetic and characters, while not really naturalistic, at least have vigour. The people on this were plodding and dull, which is a shame because the plot, while typical somewhat cheesy sci fi, at least seems mildly interesting (for instance, I like the low-fi sub light ships and the isolation of the colony).

Basically, keep the plot if you like, but give the work of writing actual lines to someone like Moffat or Gattis who can make characters who don't seem like they're sleepwalking plot delivery devices

The big twist at the end will be that they realise the REAL problem they have to overcome is them carrying the dead weight of their nagging, dissatisfied, shrewish girlfriends.

They will all dump their girlfriends

The girlfriends will realise they were idiots for staying with people who they didn't even LIKE

Then, they'll lez up.

Could they only afford Apollo for one episode? I mean, ITV got him for a whole season of terrible Law & Order UK.

Wasn't counting Firefly because it got cancelled halfway through it's first season, before it had a chance to prove or disprove its potential. Also didn't count Farscape because it was mostly an Australian production.

Watching Outcasts and pleased to see that even in space the dodgy street-corner drug peddler is Irish. Good to know that a BBC policy firmly established by Casualty, Holby City and (to a lesser extent) Spooks is still alive and well in whatever century this is set in. I firmly expect at least one Scots alcoholic/space junkie to turn up before this ends.
