Storyline

- TriviaWhile the story is reminiscent of the classic For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky (1968), the concept of a biosphere, a damaged generational spacecraft about to be destroyed by a star, and a semi-agrarian society that religiously suppresses knowledge of the truth, was the premise of the Canadian-produced television series The Starlost (1973). Similarly, the Robert A. Heinlein stories "Universe" and "Common Sense" (published in 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction, and later combined in the novel "Orphans of the Sky") feature a ship whose residents are unaware they are on a ship, controlled by a religious totalitarian government who worshiped the builders of the ship as the creators of the "universe".
- GoofsWhen the generation ship first appears on scanners, Alara says it can't be a space station because "there are no space stations this far out." As they are exploring deep into space, her statement ignores the very real possibility that it could be a station from an as-yet unidentified civilization encroaching on Union space.

Featured review
So far, so good
So far, I like it. Some of the lines can be a bit lame, but then this is from the guy that gave us Family Guy so it comes with the territory. The last episode was a bit refreshing in how the plot unfolded and I am eagerly awaiting the next one. Good start though. My only real complaint is to cut out the dumb male sex jokes. It can still be funny and a bit odd without the bathroom humor.
