I thought this was a pretty good show. Among the new scifi series, I had it rated second, below 'Invasion' and above 'Surface' (which contains "Miles" - possibly the most annoying juvenile character ever in a scifi TV series)

It couldn't have amounted to anything with Braga's name on it.

They should have got her!

I can't believe what these guys who make these decisions are thinking. Many recent shows have been slow-starting but building up an audience steadily, then abruptly cancelled. Joan of Arcadia comes to mind.

And we keep getting more real crap like Desperate Housewives, "Growing up Gotti, and an endless stream of lame and truly boring "reality" shows.
I certainly hope another network (The Sci Fi channel?) picks up this entertaining series showing so much promise.

More reasons why that Sci-Fi and regular network tv don't mix.

I knew someone would bring that up. Yes. Wesley had to share the screen time with many more characters. Miles, unfortuantely, is a major character.
