Comment on Passing the Giant by steve-burg
The show is so profoundly non-dramatic. Considering the drama inherent in the premise, one really wonders what everyone was thinking.
An interesting movie (well, by today's standards
) that touched on a similar theme was last year's "Pandorum". While it's not great, it is in a way more what I would expect the situation to devolve into on such a ship, in the event there is a catastrophe during the flight.
It's worth a look, if you haven't seen it.

"Profoundly non-dramtic". LOL!!!!
I'll look into Pandorum. BTW, I got Pushing Ice the other day, but haven't had time to dig in yet.

"Pandorum" has a lot of horror aspects to it. I'm not sure I completely understood what the situation was on that spaceship. But if you watch it, check out the "deleted scenes" - there is some interesting "mythology of the voyage" stuff as I recall.
"The Starlost" was just really horrid! The premise is the only thing good about it - and it seems like those making the show all but rejected the idea, rather than embracing it. It flaunts a cavalier disregard for even the fundamental building blocks of drama - the characters just stand in the corner and practically don't move
