The thing Dean Devlin has always known that so many other showrunners have forgotten is you don't need blockbuster-level special effects, grimdark realism that only seems to apply when it comes to violence and misogyny, shock value twist endings, or a sex scene per episode. All you really need is a small group of fucked up strange little guys and gals, a fantastical backdrop to be endlessly explored (i.e. a magical library, an intergalactic wormhole traveling device, the notion of true humanity and redemption amidst a cruel machiavellian world), and some wonder and whimsy.
