You want to know
what we're doing here -- Six complete strangers with almost blank memories
on a crippled ship in unknown space," one crew member says to another in
the second episode (July 28) of this Canadian-made sci-fi series.
Frankly we would have expected such a basic question to be answered in
the July 21 premiere, but the characters spend that half hour shaking the
cobwebs off thier brains after a 500-year cryogenic snooze, arguing over
who's in charge and dodging a hostile spacecraft. Once the premise
is finally laid out, it's fairly intriguing: The crew is on a mission
to repopulate plague-devastated Earth.
Although the
Sci-Fi Channel labels the crew members "20-somethings", actors Gordon Micheal
Woolvett, Craig Kirkwood, Nicole deBoer, Jason Cadieux, Sara Sahr and Kelli
Taylor look more like the Saved By the Bell kids in low rent Star
Trek costumes. It's no shock that thier characters turn out to
be clones.
