This show is already boring me. It's not original, it doesn't have good actors, it doesn't have good stories. I can't really see how I'm going to be able to keep watching it..................
Dear Sci Fi,
Please give us more real Sci-Fi shows in the vein of Babylon 5, BSG, Firefly, Farscape, SG-1, Star Trek, etc.
Sincerely,
Oka.
We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

You really make it sound like labor to watch or that you're obligated to keep going against your will. There is nothing wrong with disliking a show and moving on; no one's going to hold it against you.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for better Scifi like some of what we've had in the past though. These days, potentially good stuff get's cancelled before you can blink.
Eureka is silly, but it's new and funny. I'll watch until they make a mess of it as they inevitably do with all successful series.

very true. Watch until they screw something up and then move on to something else.

That Nathan Stark really reminds me of Christian Bale... down to the swagger...
Midsummer Night's Dream/Invasion was a nice touch... when you think of all the forgetting or gaps in memory.
Well, according to TV.com, Jason Alexander was played by Andrew Airlie. I was trying to figure out where I'd seen him before--the name doesn't sound at all familiar. Oh--he was Kalan in Learning Curve (among other things!). I remember now.
Hee! You're right, Nathan Stark reminds me of Christian Bale, too.
I really, really liked this episode.
ETA: Wow! He's been in a LOT of things that I've seen:
Itis good to see people enjoying the show in different ways. How mature of you to celebrate that fact. Thank you for showing us how it should be done. It's a lesson we all can learn.
I'm not sure what Tiger Woods has to do with all of this, but thanks for the pic. He's my favorite athelete. I watch him all the time and I don't even play golf.

An abbreviated season doesn't mean a show isn't gonna get renewed, it just means it's short. Isn't BSG short, too? I know Doctor Who and Life on Mars are short (I think S1 of LoM was only 10 eps) but that's England and they have different philosophies on series/season lengths.
Saw the premiere last night.
It wasn't brilliant, but it was quite good, and likeable. I'd probably give it a 7/10.
What's the actual format of the show - is it basically broken invention/weird crap of the week, or is it more arc-based?
There have only been a few episodes so not enough time to establish an overall story arc yet. There has been mention of the mysterious Section 5 that none of our characters is allowed to enter, and the odd psychiatrist has something up her sleeve. Keep watching!

The first season of BSG was 13 eps, yes. Season 2 and 3 are 20 eps though.
Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now your revelations

Yes... Grey's Anatomy (not sci fi but nevertheless) had 9 eps in it's first season and like 27 in the second.
