Let's see...
dude wants a sweet Lambo, 'cause like Lamborghini is like too many syls, y'know?
dude wants to marry totally hawt chick
dude gets into bogus trouble, did NAWT see that coming, fer sher.
*sigh*
This movie proves that great writing talent is not hereditary. Compare Mathesons father and son yourself.
George Newbern is sexy but wasted in this. I kept wanting to slap some sense into his character.
Anthony Geary, wasted in yet another oddball role.
Nobody to root for. Skip this one.

The moral of this story is: Never send people into space without knowing a thing about what you're doing!
Behold-- eight white, English-speaking, privileged, conformist, heterosexual (maybe), neurotics are the last hope of humans. Oh, and one smart guy made incapable of breeding by letting himself be, uh, domed (I kept waiting for someone to push the dome and make his head roll a la the Pop-O-Matic).
The story seems to say people can't manage the long trip. The stilted narration before the end credits says we can. I say do like Douglas Adams and send the pointless people off so Earth can thrive. These jokers were a fair start, but make the next ships huge!

Trying Times
Judge Reinhold does angst ... again.
Stockard Channing does brittle ... a lot.
Linda Purl does ... very little.
All to the accompaniment of a mournful cello solo.
Trite story anchored by Jed (Reinhold) narrating in an equally lackluster manner.
The plot? Married man falls for woman he always hated. Ho-hum.
Not funny. Not original. Not insightful. Sense a trend? The writer, Richard Greenberg, writes for the stage, which may explain the style.
Christopher Guest hadn't had much directing experience yet. It shows.
The one consolation is that this series isn't likely to appear on DVD.
