"Uhhhhhhh.... ISS this is Houston. Why exactly are you downloading files named 'femalebodyparts.data'...."

They'll be crap. Period. You can't churn stuff out that fast and not use cheap CGI, lots of regurgitated stock scenes and cardboard sets. We're talking Galactica1980 bad. Next they'll say they'll have the focus on gangs of pre-teens and it'll turn into "Bad News Bears in Space"....
