Defying Gravity here too. Terry got the title wrong,

Its a shame it was so bad. They had good sets and I'd love to see a good sci-fi series based on some sort of reality.



>It just stopped in mid season and the information for the program was 'season finale' or something similar. I watched only two episodes and the 2nd one was the one listed as the finale which made no sense. Supposedly ABC was going to air the remaining episodes, but they'd have to start over again because I don't think anyone else watched it when it was on. It came on when some other shows (much more popular) were airing. It was called Defying Gravity here.

>>>>>Wassup with this series? Was it a flop in the USA or what? I've dipped in and out of a few episodes and can't make head or tail of it. One minute they're on the ship, next they're back on earth pre-flight. Hard to keep up with what's when and who's where.

Now the ship exhibits rotating arms which, I'd assumed, would be the living quarters, providing false G via centrifugal force. Yet these are seen through windows from a static position.
