    6/10
    Cautiously hopeful but less than I had expected
    I just saw the pilot episode. I am not sold yet on whether it will crash and burn or it will be decent.

    Good points: The "many peoples tossed together" idea has been done before but it's a good one. Almost anything is possible.

    It's got Rockne S. O'Bannon who was one of the creators of Farscape as a "developer." This is hopeful.

    I like the alien wife.

    Bad points: The special effects were on a par with SyFy channel TV movies. That's pretty low. If it's a show that depends on crashing and action, they're going to have to up the budget.

    I'm not sure on the Romeo and Juliet angle on the two alien kids. That can turn boring really fast.

    Could it all gel into something really good? Yes. But I don't see it yet.
