Has anybody else watched this yet? I'm liking it so far. Gonna run some errands then watch some more.

It sucks.  Typical Christian propaganda disguised as Science Fiction.

The show was cancelled.  It only goes to episode 13 where they get to Venus, I think.

Ah, the seven trumpets business did raise an eyebrow.

Too bad, it had potential. (cast and directing looked good in the pilot)

I was just getting over expecting Milton to come around the corner asking about his stapler too!  ;D

I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch it.  It has its good point, but if you are sensitive to discussions of faith in your Science Fiction as I am, you may find it offensive as I did, despite the fact that I watched the whole thing.

I also found this to be an interesting commentary on the show:
