Default Defying Gravity

Has anyone seen this?

I only watched the first two episode, but I somehow got hooked. It's a lot of drama, with a bit of scifi and mystery.
I just hope they have a good storyline up on their sleeves and not just some melodrama written episode by episode with nonsense mystery fillings.

Oh, and I think it's very well shot. Good reason to watch it in 720p

I thought this thread was about beating old age.

The concept sounds great. I love astronomy-related stuff, really inspires me, ever since I watched Carl Sagan's COSMOS.

However, when I read this on the wiki page:

The series was pitched to networks as "Grey's Anatomy in space."
I shed a tear from one blind eye.

I'll give it a chance though. As long as it isn't full of tedious romantic chick flicky soap opera drama rubbish.

Thanks for the heads up!

Lost is

1. Not written episode by episode

2. NOT nonsense when it comes to the mystery part.

What you mean is "Doesn't this sound so much like HEROES?"

EDIT 1

Yeah, I read that too, but I have no clue how they can compare the two. For me it seems more like a 2009 mainstream version of Solaris.

I watched the first two episodes, I thought the first was OK and the second was atrocious. It really is Greys Anatomy in space. The music is awful and no story set in space should turn into a soap opera by the second episode. Watch Ronald D Moore's (BSG) Virtuality pilot to see a similar concept implemented brilliantly.
