How is the plot for this proposed series not the exact same as the backstory for "Crusade" (assuming, of course, you replace 'meteor' with 'ships belonging to a former ally of the Shadows')?

Fox will cancel the show before it even airs and after they already filmed 6 episodes.

It sounds bad enough to be on for several seasons on Fox. If a show like Firefly couldn't, um, fly on Fox I'd surmise that decisions for the network are made in bizarro world.

The saddest part is I'll probably watch it.

Sounds a bit like Threshold, and it really doesn't sound that good - Depending on how it looks, I'll probably skip it. And, let's see how long this'll last.

What's the point of having the meteor carry a virus? I forsee three scenarios:

1. They destroy the meteor and save Earth. (not likely, that's a one-season show ... and the virus means nothing.)

2. They *try* to destroy meteor and are unsuccessful. The metoer crashes into earth, spreading the virus to mankind. (Though shouldn't the virus burn up in the atmosphere?)

3. They *try* to destroy the meteor, succeed, but bring the virus home to earth. (Most likely, IMHO. Season 2 starts with the astronauts' return, spreading the disease. Oooo, it spread via secual contact, that would rock!)

Jeez, what a transparent show.

not yet gwangi. It will air for 6 episodes (out of story order) and then be cancelled.

So do you think FOX has canceled it yet?
