Why do networks expect good Sci Fi to draw as much audience and rating as dumb reality shows? Don't they know that most Sci Fi fans either are scientists or engineers or at least have that potential? Don't they know that we are vastly outnumbered by the beer guzzling, chip munching, brain dead couch potatoes that watch "Survivor Wherever," or "Biggest (fat ass) Loser"? This, like "Firefly" was a fun show, requiring a little intelligence and attention to follow the plot. It had an attractive cast, Alex O'Loughlin, Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring, and Shannyn Sossamon who played well fleshed out characters in interesting situations.
Yeah, it wasn't "CSI," or one of its clones, purveying fake science as well as fake roles. (Crime scene investigators carrying weapons and making arrests, now **that is science fiction**). CBS does a pretty good job with cop shows: "Criminal Minds," "The Mentalist," and "Numbers." If they won't give good Sci Fi a chance, maybe they should just leave it alone, rather than getting us hooked on something fun, then pulling the plug before it has a chance to build a fan base. Sixteen episodes -- no way.
