First off I would like to say that this shows title is totally inadequate for what we are offered...I'll explain that in a few lines down.
The following is for general information for all about the importance of the Arctic and its mineral wealth, but especially aimed at 'Kiosk <1' because they couldn't be bothered to do a bit of research before making a silly comment.
1) A 2008 United States Geological Survey estimates that areas north of the Arctic Circle have 90 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil (and 44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids ) in 25 geologically defined areas thought to have potential for petroleum. This represents 13% of the undiscovered oil in the world. Of the estimated totals, more than half of the undiscovered oil resources are estimated to occur in just three geologic provinces - Arctic Alaska, the Amerasian Basin, and the East Greenland Rift Basins.
2) It was around 2008 when Russia suddenly started shouting to the world that America had conned them into selling Alaska to them. And this just happened to occur when it had been found that Alaska had a huge untapped oil reserve.
I think 'Survival Code' is based upon this but its a touchy subject and, the Cold War (literally) is still bubbling under the snow and ice there.
Okay, back to the inadequate show title. Yes I am saying show because this was a Pilot episode being tried out (the ending style makes my assumption point even stronger). Everything from the way it was shot, with what was used to film it etc and etc it was/is the same as is done with your average weekly TV series. It, for me at least, had very strong associations in the type of story and depiction of things as 'Dominion' and 'Killjoys'. Two of my favourite Sci-Fi series. Don't know why it wasn't picked up (offered about to any interested party) but it was definitely NOT a film/movie. I think it would have been a very enjoyable series and the actors and their characters were all perfect (so important to have a connected balanced cast).
