This show combines elements of some 70's Gene Roddenberry attempted TV shows, some elements of Blade Runner, and a couple of nods to 2001: Space Odyssey, if you pay close attention. It takes place in the future and features a lot of cool technology, the main bit is Molly (Halle Berry) and her husband's robotic son. This is all part of her husband's dream to develop a line called Humanichs. Another major plot is that Molly finds herself inexplicably pregnant, even though she's been in space alone for 13 months. She keeps having flashbacks to an event that almost seems like a dream, where her first husband/boyfriend visited her on the space ship. Of course, there is no evidence to support that he was ever there. A sub-plot seems to involve a past colleague/astronaut who was believed to have committed suicide but visits Molly at her house one night and warns her not to trust anyone at the private space agency she works for. This show could end up being a really good show. Or it could go by the way of Space 1999....too hardcore sci-fi for the average viewer. Only time will tell.
