The concept of this show is very pretty weak, but (hopefully) the characters and unique storylines (one of Josh Wheldons specialties) will save this series if it doesn't get cancelled too soon.
The concept is of the show is kind of confusing. It takes place in the future and the setting (for the majority of the shows so far) is on a spaceship. It's kind of like Star Wars/Battlestar Gallactica/Star Trek in this mode. However, there are no phaser or laser guns to be found. All the people still use regular guns (some of them are even six shooters) and once they land on a planet (any planet) the setting turns into the old west. There are also a couple of other curious items thrown in for good measure. Some of the characters occasionally speak some type of oriental language (it could be Chinese or Japanese, or it could totally be made up for all I know).
The characters are a little more promising. The captain of the ship (a Han Solo type of guy) is the main character. Also, there's the ships crew: a male pilot, a female mechanic, a woman who is married to the pilot and another guy (I haven't figured out what the last two people actually do yet), plus 4 passengers on the ship: a female `companion' (a nice name for prostitute), a brother and sister (the brother is a doctor and the sister is his main patient with a mysterious past), and a older male priest. As for the storylines, they seem promising but I think I would have understood a lot more if they actually showed the first episode first. From what I understand from some preview commercials and from the internet, they had a two-hour premiere episode where, among other things, they introduced the sister with the mysterious past as a stowaway in a box of ice. However, probably due to the baseball playoffs, the network decided not to show the first episode. So, the viewers are left to piece together the storylines. After three episodes, they're slowly beginning to become clear.
So far, it seems promising enough to keep watching. Hopefully, it will have some more time to develop before it gets cancelled.
