Starring: Carla Gugino, Brian Van Holt, Brent Spiner, Rob Benedict, Peter Dinklage, Charles S. Dutton, with appearances by Catherine Bell, Jeffrey Donovan, and William Mapother When it comes to prime-time sci-fi series on broadcast networks, it’s a rare program that makes it to a second season, and to be honest, it’s none too surprising: most such series need time to build and expand their premise before they really get rolling, and that’s just not the sort of thing that the prime-time landscape is designed to do. Either you make a major impression right off the bat, or else you’re in a downward ratings spiral from which there is little chance of escape.
