Hard science fiction (no zombies, no vampires, no witches/warlocks etc) is hard to find. And apparently really hard for Hollywood to do well. Even with that, I had hopes for this show -- the first two episodes were interesting and well done. And then the kids came in. And stayed. Dominated the next few episodes, along with the required weak link character, the lawyer. And the show began to lose the focus of the first two episodes and regurgitated plot lines and scenes from tv shows going back to Lost in Space. I watched them all. Almost wore out the fast forward button. Two characters stood out.. Danziger and the Doctor. The 'leader', Devon, was just ok. The rest looked like they knew the show was doomed and started saving money by taking the bus to and from work. Bottom line is about 20% of any given show was worth watching and the rest was like fast-food, no value at all.

With all the series being reborn (V, Bionic Woman, Battlestar Gallactica, etc), this is one series that deserves a second chance. In my opinion, the Terrains were the best so-called alien race ever created. The characters and amazing actors in the series definitely deserved additional seasons.Today, with so few really good writers left with creative imaginations, viewers are left with new shows which were imagined by other writers. This is also true for movies and sadly, I doubt it will get better in the years to come. More and more movies and series will be redone as a result.If you haven't seen Earth 2, I encourage you to rent or buy the DVDs. Its better than any show currently on TV or likely to be in the near future.To producers out there, bring this one back!!

A pseudo religious story of salvation and redemption with wood carved characters that you would never choose for a mission like that. Egomaniacs, corrupt bureaucrats, a wise black man, a mother as a second in command who is totally obsessed with her sick kid, a riffle guy as a commander, a lonely girl without a mom raised by here tech dad with secrets to be kept.... The actors are also mostly to be rated B, the series wasn't very challenging anyway. Scientifically absolute nonsense. When will there be a sci-fi show where you don't have to think in every scene "oh G what a crud!" If you like Lost, this might be something for you. If you like fantasy, join the club. If you like sci-fi, don't waste your time.

This was an intelligent sci-fi series that tickled with your imagination and the "what if" question at the back of your mind.Why did they cancel this show? It had the making of a great show, a great future.It could have been the "lost" of the 90s. Science fiction filled with mysterious events. Unknown actors, some of which broke into mainstream TV/movies - Clancy Brown, Rebecca GayheartGreat acting, great plots, great scenery, no cash.I'm actually quite surprised that another TV network didn't snap this show up and continue doing it.So why not??
