The Apocalypse According to NBC

NBC's end times miniseries Revelations premieres tomorrow night. The apocalyptic series pairs a secular scientist (Bill Pullman) and an Oxford-educated nun. And the early indications aren't good:

If the end of the world really is near, you might consider spending your limited time on something better than this creepy, gloomy show. (AP)

Jerry Jenkins, the co-author of the Left Behind series, described the beliefs in Revelations as a "mishmash of myth, silliness, and misrepresentations of Scripture. Acknowledging that not everyone agrees with my particular take on End Times prophecies, at least my interpretations are based on some commonly accepted study. Revelations seems to draw from everywhere and nowhere." (Beliefnet)

If that much negativity hasn't deterred you, the series premieres Wednesday, April 13 at 9:00 p.m. (8:00 p.m. Central). All I know is that Bill Pullman already saved the world once in Independence Day. Twice if you count saving the galaxy in Space Balls.
