It seemed like a really odd fit and *possibly* answered too many questions through expository dialogue and inserted earth footage outside of the space station. The main problem in the movie is a completely different science fiction plot, the connection to the series is literally staged as a side effect ("the cloverfield effect"!)
The heart of the connective glue being a tv interview with Donal Logue, who seems to have filmed his entire scientific gibberish spiel in an actual remote location, was definitely some prime cheap syfy channel material
