*"The series turned a very important corner with the 'DNA Mad Scientist' episode in the first year. It came in the first minutes, when several of our characters, to serve their personal agendas, brutally chopped off one of Pilot's arms. It was abrupt, cold-blooded, and completely real considering these characters' backgrounds and desperation. Hard to watch, hard to reconcile, it was the moment that established our series as not just another light-weight science fiction adventure." *Source: Back of card
