    Four things Defying Gravity needs to do in order to move from merely watchable to actually good:

    1. James Parriott and the other writers need to learn how to show the relationships between the characters without the use of poorly timed flashbacks.

    2. James Parriott and the other writers need to stop relying on voiceovers. Anything said in the voiceovers should be worked into the dialog. The voiceovers are mostly annoying pseudophilosophical fluff or rehashes of information already mentioned in dialog.

    3. James Parriott needs to stop copying Carnivale. Beta is too much like Carnivale's Management.

    4. James Parriott needs to learn how to reach the show's run time without adding musical montages.

    5. James Parriott needs to replace his cliched, cardboard cutouts with actual characters.

    Too bad Life After Death was so terrible. I highly recommend not watching it if you love Dead Like Me - it might ruin some great memories of the show you have.

    I am gonna say something aloud: Alan Tudyk is the best thing in I, Robot. In second place, Gigi's sweet potato pie because that looks really good.

    I think you mean Greg Evigan of 'B.J. and the Bear' fame. If you star for three seasons in a show about trucking across America with a chimpanzee, that will always be the first line of your obituary.

    Defying Gravity is a great show. I am so afraid they will cancel it and we will never know what is in Pod 4.

    @Keen314: Actually, it's where they keep the rejected Grey's Anatomy scripts they use to create this crapfest.

    @reddingofish: I think DG is, so far, neither a great show nor a crapfest. I find it intriguing, though slightly weak due to the metaphysical/magical nature of beta.

    @Roklimber: I have a confession: I've been watching it on a PVR and ... whenever I see Daisy and whatshisname starting to talk (especially in flashbacks) BAM I fast-forward them like a bad Cheetos commercial.

    @AngriestGeek:
    This is the worst cast and written POS this season. And the acting on "General Hospital" is more nuanced.
