I pretty much count on any show that I like to get cancelled in its first season. With the occasional exception like Lost.
Don't blame me. I just sell the drugs. What you hop-heads do with them is your bidness.
Apparently it hasn't been officially cancelled yet... and there's a website devoted to trying to save the show:

It looks a lot to me like a Pushing Daisies situation, where they're just trying to figure out when to air the remaining episodes that are in the can. I'm not getting my hopes up.
Anything that's been described as "Grey's Anatomy in Space," is a big no for me. And yes it's been pretty much cancelled.
Such negativity. I've never seen Grey's Anatomy, but I like this show for the same reason I liked Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5: great plots and characters set in outer space. So Grey's Anatomy can suck it.
Allow me a brief rant: Why the fuck do the networks/production houses insist on putting niche shows on the big 4 networks during prime time? They're fucking doomed. For god's sake, it's 2009. At least put this bitch on SyFy, where the geeks of the world can enjoy it and SyFy can enjoy the meager-by-network-standards ratings.
Or do the really logical thing: Put it on the internet only and let people watch it, with commercials, whenever they damn well please!
But starting a niche drama in late summer? With no hype? What did they expect?
The networks are such tools.

They want to make money. Without a built in fan base (like Trek), that means prime time on a major network. Cable and internet don't sell enough soap to fund sci fi effects shows.
