The show made the final 'i' an 'e' when the name was shown.

A cat watching TV would have licked its chops and nose during that scene.

If they were pushing all ships into the relief effort, you'd think that a belter would appreciate that Mars's first priority was the people.

BSG also had the movie miniseries to follow, which served the world building functions that most series have to include in the first season, so it's not really a fair comparison.

SyFy has more or less botched the release and scheduling of their science fiction shows since 2010 for no outwardly obvious reason beyond their executives contempt for the genre and their audience.

I quite liked him in Flashpoint, which was one of the more sensible police procedurals I've seen.
