Wondering how things would fare after Dutch passed, they seem to have picked it up. Wordplay is plenty sharp.

Any show willing to make Patton Oswalt the hero for a spell is alright in my book.

Still looking for some interview with James LeGros - has to be quite the hoot for him to be playing opposite his old role.

Natalie Zea needs to hitch her wagon to this and The Following, not Under The Dome.

Filed under "odd": are we supposed to believe Ava would have a Star Wars Ep IV reference at the ready?

The pint sized Crowe is up to something. It'll be fun to find out just what.

It does not get any better than this. Musicians are not magical creatures, they do not have superpowers, they cannot fly.

But man, can they use their creative brains and considerable chops to do things nobody thought you could do. An improbable bunch of "professionals", semi-pros, amateurs, hangers-on and gut-trusting people made this place and this music.

Dave Grohl will be given rock sainthood for having the brains and guts to tell this story and save that desk.

Bottom line - you trust your instincts, every so often take a winger, and go with what works. I am floored by this and will be watching it again to get the little in-between things that make this work and are often the difference between grinding out formula music and "blowing the roof off the dump" as they say.

Underwhelming doesn't begin to describe it.

But hey, If I can live through Plan 9 I can live through two free iTunes episodes of this.

The gravity technical explanation is almost literally the joke from Thank You For Smoking between Rob Lowe and Aaron Eckhart - "But wouldn't they blow up in an all oxygen environment? Probably. But it's an easy fix. One line of dialogue. 'Thank God we invented the... you know, whatever device.'"

It seems to want to apply some sort of everyday casualness to being an astronaut. If by this series' time it is everyday to be an astronaut, then there would be little point in making a movie about them. It's all about the interpersonal drama, but in space.

Firefly did it so much better. I do have to hand it to Ron Livingston for putting in a decent performance without cheesing it up. He's right up there with Jason Bateman and Aaron Eckhart and Nathan Fillion: they can actually convince you the character is THINKING.
