Didn't like it again last night. Its like they haven't even bothered to try and make it interesting and just used a generic plot from the scifi filing cabinet.

Perhaps you need to give it a chance, more than 2 episodes? I thought it was getting more interesting.

If you just want an alien vs human gore fest then it probably isn't the right programme for you

It is a drama set in the future, not an all action shoot em up and never pretended to be anything else, not from the trailers or write up. I shal give it a chance and see what develops.

Doesn't mean that i won't be watching the Chronicles of Riddick or Aliens SE later on tonight

It's only on for 6 episodes. Just as it (may) get good, it'll be over.

Think they were given a budget to make it. Some bright spark decided to hire that actor out of Ugly Betty and blew the budget, that only left them with £10.37 to make the 6 part series.

a programme doesn't need to be an action shoot em up to be interesting Paul. If they maybe came up with a plot that was in some way original, it would be a start.

Outcasts seems like a very loose rehash and rejiggle of Earth2.

and earth2 a rejiggle of Forbidden Planet or bits of other sci-fi cut together. Hardly anything is new, take Avatar - the Last of the Mohicans set on another planet - great film though!

The plot is still evolving which is good as i would rather that be the case than it all be spelled out in the first 20 minutes.

Then again what do i know, I like Blakes7 Really, i do!

Exactly nothing new, same ol' **** rehashed over and over again with shiny graphics and a cast that would be more suited to a crime drama.

PS. Avatar was also ***** but not quite as ***** as the newest StarTrek movie

That was supposed to be being remade you know. I remember bits of it.

If you think about it though, although I'll watch it again you don't have to have lots of wizzy shooty bang things to make a space film interesting - Moon for example was a great film and could have been equally good on a shoestring budget.

Solaris on the other hand was in space with George Clooney and I watched it once and threw the DVD in the bin in disgust.

Heres another one - V

Has it been given a 2nd series or has it been canned?
