Well I guest people at CW thought Defying gravity and Virtuality were good, well one of them was actually, defying gravity. Why do not they save time an pay for that series to be produce for the network.

But I guest any scifi is better than no scifi, it needs a better name through. Of all the cool name they could chosen and they call it Plymouth Rock.

An may be they could come up with something more interesting than saving the planet or the human race.

plymouth rock is an awful name, especially since in the uk people will assume it is about a south west seaside resort.

although i googled it and it is actually the place from where the mayflower disembarked. so i guess it is suitable.

but does anyone get the feeling it will be exactly what everyone dreaded SGU might be?

[knowles2]

Not being one of those people, but yeah I got the feeling this will be those people SGU nightmares come true.

Yeah the premise so far is way too generic. I'll probably give it a chance if they follow through but most likely on Hulu or On Demand. The only show the CW has ever done that I liked was Smallville.

Supernatural is alright. I never got that into it though. I'm just not in to horror/monster-chasers stories.

But aside from those shows, CW is like the Vampire Gossip Girl Diaries channel.
