Interview with the writer/creator of Outcasts.
Interview: Ben Richards, writer/creator of 'Outcasts' ~ Dan's Media Digest
So it turns out the show was perfect in every way right from the start. Who knew!

"Maybe a less high profile time slot from the start would have helped." Yes! That definitely would've improved ratings! Less publicity!
And I didn't find Cass's story about seeing old news footage at all emotional. It was pretty typical of scenes in a lot of shows and movies where a character tells an anecdote from their past that's supposed to explain their whole outlook on life, so I just thought "oh, here we go again".
Maybe Berger was French for "shepherd"? I dunno, I read it on IMDb anyway, so it was probably made up by a RACIST.

Did you notice how Ben Richards started posting in the comments section too answering questions? He admitted the ready cut diamonds thing was just a mistake. He thought diamonds look like that naturally I guess. Sadly all the comments became "GREAT SHOW SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CANCELLED LOVE YOU BEN!!!" after he started posting.

Yeah I read up to that point and realised he wasn't really going to have any proper answers so I gave up.
The diamonds thing actually annoys me more than anything else. It's not a tiny technical scifi nerd detail. Only some idiot Essex girl "little pwincess, innit?" could possibly think, in this day and age, that diamonds come out of the ground (or are scattered conveniently on top of the ground) looking all polished and neatly cut and all the same size, as though they'd come out of a mold... Either the writers/prop department are idiots, or they think their audience are.

I'm baffled at EVERY comment in the comments section now being 100% positive...didn't everyone hate it while it was on?

I bet the book would have page after page describing how "beautiful" Stella is.

And even though the medium allows the writer to explain all of the characters thoughts and intentions internally, they still explain every last plot point in dialogue.

Yesterday's episode was pretty good and at least had some tension (and action! things actually happened!), but deep down it still had the usual problems.
Typical tv copout that the invaders who've been built up all season as unstoppable were stopped within about 20 minutes by mostly unarmed civilians who didn't even have prior warning that they were coming.
The "host force" like the ACs because they live off the land and wear rags and are actually nice people who just feel hard done by, but they also like the Mittelos Bioscience nutters and their marines, even though they rely on technology even more than the Forthaven lot do and they're EVIL. *shrug*
Fleur suddenly remembering being in a lab as a baby was ridiculous for so many reasons. But mostly that she remembered another baby main character being there. Sometimes they don't seem to really think through the logistics of these plots.
HeadBerger threatening ArseBerger was genuinely creepy and I liked the line about his followers being so desperate that they'd follow anyone. I wonder what the alien duplicate will get them to do and how long it'll take Jack (if ever...) to figure out how the real one went missing from jail.
Irish genius guy was completely absent as far as I could tell. IMDb trolls will no doubt claim that the actor realised how shit the show was and left, rather than the writers merely not writing any scenes for him this week, or his storyline being on the cutting room floor.
Next week looks like it has more stuff about the extinct humanoids, so that should be good if they don't fuck it up. Couldn't figure out what Stella blurted out at the end, but it sounded like something about them still being alive?

Stella's daughter CANNOT ACT but I appreciated all the shots of her cleavage. What was she actually bending down for? I swear the guy who plays Jack was breaking character by glancing over every few seconds (I suppose that would be in character!)
I think Stella sais "WE'RE still alive." So that means the humans are the descendants of the Fort Haven people? But they come from Earth...
Is that ginger haired invader going to be a main character now? It was really blatant how he instantly stopped his friend from killing Cass just to let the viewers know that he wasn't a bad guy.

Wow, that doesn't sound at all like BSG, does it?
Yeah, I reckon the ginger guy will be around for a while since they bothered to give him more of a backstory (and kept showing his silent reactions to everything), rather than just instantly killing him off like they did the leader bloke. I think he used to be in Blue Healers.

He was an evil king in one episode of Merlin too.
Did you notice the preview for next week showed the blond girl who accused Baltar of molesting her? I'm surprised she's going to be back. She didn't look happy...
