That's a shame. I read a review this morning where they compared it favorably to Terra Nova and Falling Skies (as in, those two shows are worse) but without the hokey, fake family drama. You know, the rebellious son who comes to accept and love his father. I hate that contrived shit.
There was a bit of that in the pilot but it wasn't as bad as Terra Nova or something. There are parts of it that show promise but they are pulling a lot of punches since its network TV. Also just offhand it features one of the worst sword fights I have ever seen, B-movie level choreography.
q[By basic science foundations do you mean like "if all electricity stopped working why don't they die on account of our nerves and brains use electricity?" which I don't care about - sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable and all that. Or something more egregious?
Oh no, nothing that spergy, see spoiler below:
