So many stereotypes. So many clichés. So little thought. So badly written. Do these overpaid writers/producers/directors EVER watch any TV? I re-watched the Martian Chronicles on DVD recently. It was made in 1980. It's a little dated, the sets and special effects are ropey to say the least. But even that is far far superior to the garbage that is Outcasts. Not to mention the recent Sci-Fi masterpieces like Battlestar Galactica and Firefly. But someone already made the point, this really isn't sci-fi. It's a woefully written drama in the vein of casualty that just happens to be set on another planet. I really really wish I could opt out of the licence fee when I see it being wasted by people who don't have a clue.
