Consider it this way: instead of spiders hunting meat that feeds on plants that are already omnipresent, they are hunting meat that feeds on only as much plant mass as the spiders themselves can carry in (remember the worker spiders?).If the spiders were growing grass, and feeding on the mammals that grazed the grass, it would be easier to believe. But humans (as an example) wouldn't be able to live on the amount of cattle we could feed with our own hands. The spiders have zero supporting environment.Agh. I'm getting too into the details. I enjoyed the show. I enjoyed it a lot. At least half of the creatures inspired some germ of an idea in my subconscious, where my Muse will work with it until someday I spring it on my players.There were niggling little things, areas I felt the producers or science team didn't consider, and I commented on them. I don't want to pick the show apart piece by piece - I'll just leave it at "cool".</blockquote>
