Agree with others who question how this script was greenlit. Lena and Stephan are above this garbage and I have to hope future episodes will redeem their choice to participate in this trainwreck. It's reminiscent of a Doctor Who episode that takes place all in one room. It's not about special effects, it's not about any actual plot line (the plot that is there is such unoriginal derivative tripe let's just pretend it's not there), it's not even about character development, which is also nonexistent. No: everything around them in this one setting is just there to spin very pointless and monotonous dialog. One has to wonder if some studio exec had a child, grandchild or nephew dreaming of become a television producer. It's inconceivable how else this script didn't get edited and rewritten prior to filming. If episode three isn't drastically improved, this will be a single season dud. This is a shame, primarily because we're always happy to have more science fiction series being produced. What a waste!
