Killin' me with this show. I'm trying, I'm really REALLY trying to like it. But, this one is just a stinker. I'm giving 6 stars because it's visually successful, the sets and costumes were fantastic (except the brothel set and judges costumes, both of which were just awful), the battle and the Rexorian creature effects were cool, and I have a deep love for Bryan Cranston that results in stars no matter what he is cast in. But, overall the Terra 2025 world is not interesting enough to make me care. The characters are flat. The drama pedestrian and predictable. The dilemma had me curious at first, but is not developed enough to create real interest besides "a problem to solve". Some outstanding actors are completely wasted on a script with crappy dialog and a plot twist that boiled down to: "Is he a Rexorian? Is he not a Rexorian? No wait, is he a Rexorian? Ah, yeah. He's a Rexorian." But so what? What does it mean for the Rexorians and the Terrans? I'm supposed to feel something because Vera can be happier with this guy than the real Silas? Is there a war now? How will it affect the Terrans ability to get the Hydran they need? Is Terra Earth? Does it matter? What's with all the "loyalty to the state?"
My challenge to other fans of science fiction is to be harder on this show. It needs to take the level up if it's going to survive. Some incredible talent is behind it. I don't understand any review higher than a 6. I feel like I'm being generous.
