I set the DVR for that some time ago. I must have heard about it here. It
can't possibly be good, it's on the CW.

Haven't heard anything about this and I don't think I know any of the
"stars".

Trivia
All the episode titles in season one are the names of Bob Dylan songs.

We've discussed this before - the only "star" on this that any of use
recognize is John Harlan Kim. No one (not even me!!) has heard of any
of the rest of them, so this stars even more "unknowns" than "The
Outpost" does!!

Yeah, I'm staring at the description wondering why in the world I added it to
the DVR. It may have been something the DVR suggested and I said 'okay'

[Dimensional Traveler]

Your DVR suggests things that are filmed in Bulgaria?

In the immortal words of Oliver Queen, you have FAILED this newsgroup.
He should probably kill you now.

No, wait. He only kills the flunkies *around* the latest person to have
failed the city. Huh. Maybe we can get him to make an exception here.

I'd also heard of Malcolm before "The Outpost" premiered. (I'm not sure
I'd ever seen Andrew Howard before, but I want to say that I had...)

But I know pretty much no one on "Pandora"... :|
