Did anyone else start watching this mini series on Sci-Fi last night? They tend to do okay with their minis from time to time so I thought I'd give it a try.

It's a neat story and I actually enjoyed last night's episode. I do have to say that this is the first time I actually fell for some pre-movie-preview marketing. (I saw a commercial for this mini on something called 'The 20' at my local theater)

It's not a bad story at all. So far it's really lived up to the term "miniseries", as in it flows like a regular TV series, but you know it's limited. And unlike every other SciFi miniseries I've watched it's consistently interesting. (at least the first episode was) I'm hoping there aren't any episodes which feel like the cliche "filler" episodes of SciFi miniseries of past. Or that it has a great windup but just falls flat at the end like Storm of the Century did.

By the way, who do you figure for the murder? I'm guessing something pretty wacky, but it feels right....
