Quotes

Lena Haloway: My father had a favorite quote, A man named T.S. Eliot wrote, "Do I dare disturb the universe?" Like many works of art, that poem is now forbidden. But I know what it means. One person finds it easy to go along with the crowd, while another stands against it.

User Reviews

Watchable.

This is a pilot for a show; it is not a movie.

This pilot was interesting and as much as I wanted to love the show, I did not. I thought it had potential, but however did not live up to my expectations from all of its promotion.

The show is worth the watch at least for the concept. I have not watched anything from the WIGS network before, so that also made the show intriguing.

There are holes in the plot and the special effects could be far better. Where it was going to lead was very obvious; I am not sure if that was bad directing or if that is how the book was written.

If they would have continued the show I would have watched it for the concept, not because I loved the show. There are a lot of shows I watch because I like the type of show it is (like science fiction or fantasy).
