I love the western kind of setting here. I think I even recognized Bronson Cave, classic filming locations in such things as Star Trek, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and so many other classic westerns and sci-fi films and TV shows.
We’ve got uranium prospectors. We’ve got a guy who might not be from around here.
And while initially it seems we’ve got a promising sci-fi western setup, we’ve also got far too much talking. That’s like all this series is, isn’t it?
