Interesting, but I don’t trust SyFy not to cancel it early, so I’ll have to wait and see what happens over the next few years before deciding to watch it :-/

yes, Si-fi, which was changed by some bonehead many years ago to sy-fy, really lost credibility ages ago. They bungled so many good show and replaced with terrible stuff, and several times tried to claw their way back. I will watch it from day one. I am still waiting for Starlost to come back, so now it does.

Star Lost, didn’t know anyone remembers that one. But, yeah that is Star Lost. Just like La Brea is Kand if the lost remake.

Exactly. When SyFy creates a show whether it is good or bad it has a very short expiration date. SyFy used to be a good channel but now it is just a waste of space on the channel guide.

Sounds like a ‘re-imagining’ of “The Starlost” from the 1970s…

what is going on with the networks, a great pedegree of show producers and they get a lower tier of networks to contract with? I don’t mind not having to pay, but if I want a higher quality network to show my favorite shows, it looks like the Network it shows on here in the USA has more tiers, where one can pay for no commercials too. Since most of us already subscribe to some service or another we are already in several hundred dollars a month just to view tv shows. I would have thought the bidding and contracts… Read more »

No, I shall not be watching The Ark. I did not find myself interested enough in it to even finish the trailer. Reading the related posts about Dean Devlin makes me even more leery, especially given that I have not watch televisions for months now and do not regret its absence in my life. It has left me more time to write for myself, to read blog posts like this one, and to leave the (probably obnoxious) comments I so enjoy leaving. I have spent more time talking to other science fiction fans, and in particular those who read and… Read more »

Cool, another lame ass show with a bunch of genius, trendy looking twenty somethings that somehow are the last hope in fixing the environment, staving off a plague, stopping an alien invasion or in this case mankind’s only hope at a new colony. Apparently they think if you throw enough s##t at the wall, eventually some of it will stick. SciFi channel (which is how I will always spell it) has turned into another version of the CW and is a reason the channels ratings continue to plummet.

Same here lol. And less stones thankfully at least.

Got to throw your lunch tray down though because that’s always enjoyable. Not. Three fries short of a happy meal that one.

Seems like it’s been done before same old same old running out of ideas better off continuing the Stargate franchise and drop Devlin for Wright I won’t bother watching Ark!

I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but that trailer makes it look rather melodramatic. In the worst BSG “oh god oh god, we’re all going to die in the middle of space” kind of way. Plus the setting strongly implies that they don’t get off the ship (where would they go?), and that’s no fun.

That said, Devlin was responsible for The Librarians, so he is capable of doing something light and airy when needed. So hopefully the trailer is overplaying the grimness.

Just finished the first episode. It was better than I expected. Doesn’t reinvent the wheel but better than the 19% on Rottentomatoes would suggest. Definitely has a lot of Lost in Space, Space: 1999, and even SGU in it’s DNA. I’m in for a few more episodes at least.
