It sucks.  Typical Christian propaganda disguised as Science Fiction.

The show was cancelled.  It only goes to episode 13 where they get to Venus, I think.

Ah, the seven trumpets business did raise an eyebrow.

Too bad, it had potential. (cast and directing looked good in the pilot)

I was just getting over expecting Milton to come around the corner asking about his stapler too!  ;D

I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch it.  It has its good point, but if you are sensitive to discussions of faith in your Science Fiction as I am, you may find it offensive as I did, despite the fact that I watched the whole thing.

I also found this to be an interesting commentary on the show:
