[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 6781742, member: 23023"] I just finished watching the most recent episode and I like the show. It seemed a little slow buildup in the first episode, but after a couple more I started to enjoy it more though I admit that while the show isn't bad, there aren't any characters that really jump out and make you go "Wow!". I like how the detective searching for the girl saw her water supply in the apartment and decided to take advantage of it and he has a little style, but it's still not quite enough to really grab me. But I think the biggest thing that kind of annoys me are the comments of the technology level. Like "This guy is wearing technologically advanced armor" or something. It's hard to really be amazed at this superior technology level when everything else is already technologically advanced compared to what we have now. When something is amazing, how do we differentiate between amazing and REALLY amazing? For example the most recent episode in which the six ships are fighting the cruiser. We had never seen the power of the cruiser before so it being attacked by SIX ships didn't really seem to be special despite the Captain seeming to think them of little consequences. Usually shows have a comparison from previous episodes or something. If I had seen a battle of the cruiser versus a dozen ships and saw their weaponry and THEN saw six ships take it on with something advanced, it puts the situation in a different light. So overall it isn't a terrible show, but it's also not a great show. Only time will tell if it will ever be anything greater than average. [/QUOTE]
