Don't mean to start yet another argument here. But Defying Gravity is a soap excuse for sci fi flavor. Almost everything is wrong and the real sci fi in it is Beta the deus ex device. Terrible opportunity to sensibilize the general public to space life. The "astronauts" are airheads nothing like astronauts, the physics are all wrong (communication time delay?), the plot is typical bad soap quality, and the actors are mediocre. It's a soap that just happened to be made in space scenery.
