Defying Gravity on ABC.

Before the show started, I called it “watered down sci-fi” — Desperate Housewives in space.
As soon as the dialog mentioned “our YouTube feed” in the context of space exploration some time in the future, I knew I called it right. I’m waiting for someone to pull out an iPhone at some point within the next two hours of the pilot episode.
I hope to be proven wrong, as we’re seriously craving good sci fi since the end of BSG, but, I mean, Firefly lasted for less than 20 episodes, and instead we get this stuff.
Or maybe I’m just hard on any new entry into the genre …
