Review:
The first 5 minutes of any story should grab the audience, with Science Fiction that is incredibly easy, show some flashy tech, some amazing event, a character saying incredibly crazy almost incomprehensible things that will later make sense, any of those will do, they are all solid sci fi hooks and really not anything that needs to change. When I see science fiction turn into a procedural cop show with bad acting, shaky camera angles to add intensity, and awful dialogue, I no longer have a reason to watch.
Syfy, if your going to make a science fiction show, focus on the science, even if your acting and dialogue are bad, people tuning into to Syfy to watch a science fiction may stick around. Trying to change the format of a genre to get viewers that prefer cop shows, drama, or reality TV, only makes science fiction fans turn away. I don't understand the logic, people who like Science Fiction and are always infront of a computer and TV so why should you make shows appeal to people that never watch or watch other genres? Make Syfy for science fiction fans.
"Science fiction is an existential metaphor, that allows us to tell stories about the human condition" -- Isaac Asimov.
