[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 2585244, member: 9298"] I thought it was pretty good. I liked the characters individually, althought they didn't have a lot of chemistry together, but I'm willing to see if it develops, as this was the first episode of a new show. Also, Ramsey needs a new dialogue writer. As his sarcasm andd quipiness leave a bit to be desired. But if I can tackle mmu's hatchet job... This is science-fiction. It means the science doesn't have to be perfect. I'm pretty sure that the reason they used triple-helix and fourth dimensions is to say "hey look, this stuff is so alien, we can do whatever we want with the science" I think the problem here is that you work in this field. To the average person, there's no way to know if this is possible or not and this is nowhere near as bad as uploding a virus into alien computers in Independence Day. Um, well yeah.. you're right on this one. The linguist used the "math is a language" explanation. My gf is a nerd, and her two main interests are linguistics and stupid math. Having a nerd with a specific field of work also be smart in other areas seems to make sense. And while the government might want as many experts as possible, it isn't feasible to have a 100 member cast. She looks good? I didn't notice. They seemed to downplay sex on this show more than any show I've watched on TV in recent memory. I remember them calling her "the most important person on the planet" once, but in context, it never meant she was special. I didn't see an attempt at chemistry between Molly and Cavanagh at all. Are you sure you weren't watching Bones? I'm sure these two will eventually be forced together as Hollywood seems convinced that we can only care about people if theyre in a relationship, but let's not make the situation worse than it is. As for the engineer's faith and the missing father. These things got mentioned once or twice each. In a two-hour premiere that might have been written as two individual episodes. How is that telegraphing? They're surrounded by guys with guns, and implanted with tracking devices. Plus, the show has already discussed why it isn't the best idea to chain these guys to their desks. For the most part, these seem like real nitpicks. My nitpick of the "alien" attacking Molly in her home and her dog not reacting at all, seems more severe than any of the ones listed. [/QUOTE]
