Not sure how long this show has been on the air -- I like it so far.

Did anyone see tonight episode? The was a very cool X-Men plug in it. One of the astronauts actually said, he couldn't understand why anyone thought that Cyclops made a better leader than Jean Grey. I thought that was too cool... Not to mention true.

Although he's always a dick, he's never a psychopathic goddess bent on destroying the universe.

Also, anyone sexually attracted to Cyclops should automatically be disqualified for leadership.

That was only the third Sunday night it was on (ABC). There were two episodes the first night, so this latest one (H2IK) was the fourth.

I believe they have the episodes on-line, but I haven't tried them myself:

I think it is OK so far. Not amazing though. I'm willing to keep following it. I like the general subject matter of how such a mission (taking a manned ship to explore the planets of our solar system) would go. The cast is pretty solid. I don't think the mystery intelligence (Beta) was a strictly necessary addition, but I suppose it will add some interesting dimensions to it that we'll learn eventually.

Overall, I think they are donig a good job of weaving in the backstory scenes.

I was almost a little bored by this episode. That's realistic though. Even though space travel is fast by comparison to travel on Earth, the distances are so vast that there is just so much time. The H2IK stuff was neat. Maybe a little too unbelievably clever for its own good. I mean, nobody is going to demand to know what it means?


Hope the show lasts a while yet, but it will probably need some more people to get into it.
