Hmmm …
Well …
I’ve got to admit, I’m somehow not surprised.
I’m unsurprised for two reasons.
Firstly … ?
He happily admits, during the interview, that he’s not a science fiction fan.
I think it showed.
From where I’m sitting, the holes in the background weren’t necessarily ones someone a touch more familiar with the genre would have made*.
OK, granted I’m no expert.
Or writer.
But I am a fan.
And expect a few nits to be picked.
Of course the other non-surprise … ?
Is that the series is not getting picked up for a second series.
I’m still having mixed feelings, still, about that.
I felt that Outcasts had potential, and that the last two episodes a hell of an improvement on the first.
But I also feel that Britain deserves more quality science fiction.
But Outcasts … ?
Outcasts having been badly executed … ?
Outcasts, unfortunately, wasn’t it.
* The transport was the big one. I’d also noticed something else, too: seemingly, Forthaven — a heavily fortified town on a planet that’s supposedly uninhabited — had no solar generators. On a desert planet where sunlight seems to be all over, and the offices and hospital have electrical needs and air-conditioning.
