I could have done without the Al-Qaeda also. The Russians and Al-Qaeda too much. However I really enjoy this show. The back and forth between the captain and the Baldwin character. The fuel and food -and fresh water- looks like an ongoing thing. The production looks good to me some of these shows can look bad Sci_fi channel originals got real bad for a while. I know its only 2 episodes so we will see.
I am going to stick it out for a while, it helps that me and my daughter are watching Falling Skies after.
I am on Charter for my cable and its up on my OnDemand the next day.
