      Haven’t seen Wagon Train either, but I’d guess Forbidden Planet and The Twilight Zone were actually bigger influences. But everything has some antecedent, no shame in that.

          We’re only two episodes in, but yeah, I’d say SFA is angling for something pretty unique. Space setting aside, not many YA shows concern themselves with the nation-building of a failed state. I’m not hugely versed, but wrapping your second episode around a diplomatic conference seems pretty unusual for the genre.

              Maybe. It’s certainly a gamble. I think it’s off to a good start, so I hope it pays off. But mine isn’t the job that’s on the line, so I’m not gonna stress about it. I just watch if it interests me.
