Did anyone else watch last night? It's based on a George ARR ARR Martin short story.

I thought the first episode was good, the opening sequence is like Alien mixed with The Shining. I think the second one is on tonight.

Haven't seen it yet. I hope it's good. I'm always in the mood for a good sci-fi show. But I really didn't like the novella very much at all. Definitely one of Martin's weakest efforts.

Does the show improve on the novella?

Power to you, hope it serves you well.


Read the story decades ago, saw the flick with CMS in the theatre. Return to the movie every once in a while and hopefully, there will be lots of fun in this for you.

Watched it. Not bad. But wow, between the lead and his wife, they sure went for it: "Get us the stand-ins for John Krasinski and Emily Blunt in AQP!"

Darn, I missed it! I've been waiting for this one since summer. Looks very Event Horizon-ish.

Just finished watching this. Anyone else make it to the end?

What a bizarre series! I followed along and got the gist of most of it, but besides the ambiguous ending, several of the decisions they made and conclusions they reached were a bit confusing. Feel like I needed more frame of reference vis a vis the setting and background "science".

Did very well with the creepiness and gross-out factor, which I think was a big part of what they were going for.

Big sci fi fan here, but I could barely finish the first episode. I watched it maybe two weeks but now I don't even remember anything about it.

Finished it. Didn't hate it, but wouldn't recommend.
