Well I watched Episode 1 & 2 and it seemed quite interesting :)

 

Shall keep watching for a bit, have a feeling this might get a bit boring though.

Gets canceled in 3...2...1.

 

###### should have hit the fan in the 2nd episode. But instead they are already putting in filler like they did with Stargate universe.

Don't get me wrong this show looks interesting, but its definitely not like how they portrait it in the trailer.

 

The preview for next week looks promising though.

Just in case you weren't aware, episode 3 is available on iTunes and SyFy's website.

As for filler, that was a duh! All serialized shows have to have some level of filler and this show starts off with the outbreak, so to think that there wouldn't be filler, in my opinion, is expecting way to much from a show like this.

Jordan Hayes... :wub: :wub: :wub:

She is incredibly cute!
