Apparently it's a duffer.

It could well be. She is also Caprica Girl.
Haven't seen Ep 2 yet but doesn't bode well if 3 is considered a duffer for the series.
Tried very hard to read comments on the Graun blog, which is following the US transnission dates, without absorbing too many spoilers. General consensus seems to be still unimpressed. I remain with my view that its a five ep series strung out to ten and if they'd made it for UK TV they wouldn't have faffed and padded. The US market would have taken it as it was.
You lot are jolly quick to judge. You've only seen 2 episodes.
I've only seen one. But it was an hour long. I don't subscribe to cotterism!

Come of it, as if most wait to actually watch something before forming their opinion!
Did you have any pre watching excitement Matthew?

I like to give a Rolling Judgement.

No. Interest, sure.
I will watch the second ep this afternoon. Too cold to go out.

Drink plenty of coffee beforehand.

20% of the run. In usual UK series terms 2 eps would probably be a third. Long enough to decide whether to keep going or not. Sometimes things are so bad that one ep is enough.
I'm quite liking it so far. The scifi concepts are pretty hard for TV.
They could use toning down the camp (seriously, does the Welsh super secret agent really need a comic relief education about Americanisms?) and ramping up the dark.
I'm hoping they don't drag it out too much. If the black helicopters and The Company conspiracy bollocks carries on much longer I'll quickly change my mind about it. It's been done to death in too many shows already.
Good point Kev old son.
It has an awsome single scifi mcGuffin and like Children of Earth, it's running with it and seeing what happens. And yes being fairly realistic in that respect.
Something other better funded, more highly thought of scifi shows struggle with.
That it's silly, camp and funny, as well as having a couple of decent punchups an episode only adds to the charm.
Oh and a couple of good spit the tea horror moments.
