I'm positively bewildered. I did not know Rusty had it in him to write that well and not blow it in the end. (Of course, half of fandom insists he did and it is the worst thing ever written. I am very emphatically disagreeing with that.) It wasn't just good television, it was good science fiction, in that it used elements of speculation to explore truths about human nature, and that's even rarer these days.
And the fandom explosion looks like it's going to be titanic. They already found one writer's Twitter and started issuing threats of physical harm, and I've already hit my limit of "DO NOT WATCH IT YOU'LL NEVER GET THOSE HOURS OF YOUR LIFE BACK" so I kind of feel pity for the people actually associated with the show.
