OK finished season 1........ Bad but I'm going to stick with it..

OK just finished the first season last night and have to say, it's fun but it's also one of the worst written shows of all time.

Who was the twit that wrote those episodes?

Last episode alien lands and big chief alien walks out of ship. Perfect chance for total chaos if they put lots of bullets into the boss alien and kill him. But noooooooo Tom Mason diplomacy.

"I'll just drop all my weapons and walk onto the ship."

I hear this is a recurring theme through the whole series that Tom Mason talks, and talks, and talks, and dropping his weapons..

I'd like to make up my own headcanon for this show and even cross over genre and wonder how the Doctor would have handled the Espheni having landed on Earth and seeing the whole planet is basically "screwed over" good and proper like it is in the show..

He would probably talk, and talk, and talk to the Queen and if he couldn't convince her to surrender he'd manipulate someone to do the dirty and kill her...

I'm going to continue to watch the show but man it's funny for all the wrong reasons..

I had trouble getting through the first season, came back a year later to 2 and and ate up the remaining series in a week.

It's not a perfect series by any means, but it is good fun, and overall better thought out and acted than many so-called good tv series. It's good enough to keep watching. :) (admittedly, I'm only mid-way through season 3 at the moment, so I may change my tune by the end!)

Season 3 has been pretty good so far. I found season one and two were slow starters but got better in their latter half, whereas season three has been good from the start. Except for the episode I just watched... total facepalm episode, but what series doesn't have a few of those? ;-)

It never gets less frustrating. Just dump it.

I'm in season 5 ep 6 and wishing for Tom Mason's death. Realy wish I'd quit it like I did Helix
