     I just ran across this thing on the WB station the other night.

     Was it really as bad as it looked? Is ther something I'm

     missing?

         I only really started paying attention that episode, but it seems
         that the

         construct is one of those things that no one has laid claim to,
         especially

         since Boone never told Da'an and the Companions of its existence.

         I've only seen one episode (the one with the butterfly-puking Amish
         folk).

         Gorno filled me in on the basic premise, but I'm still a little
         lost. What

         the heck are those 'metal scarecrows'?

         Hmmm, did it look bad? I've never noticed that. I'd classify the
         show

         as

         "easy-watching". It's very natural feeling to sit and do work while

         Earth Final Conflict is playing away in the background. It's very

         difficult

         to explain. All I know is that I look up every once in a while and
         see

         something cool happening.

         Lets see...from what I've gathered, the show so far in its few
         episodes

         has

         a marvelously full background story. The actors seem competant and
         the

         overall plot of the show is interesting without being overly

         complicated.

         Basically, it's about aliens that came to Earth who are very self

         conscious

         about their image, causing some people to think that they've got
         some

         unmentioned hidden purpose. Anyway, the main character is our

         ambassador,

         if that's the correct word, to these aliens, and he works closely
         with

         them,

         while at the same time he tries to undo some of the damage that they
         do

         to

         individuals. The aliens appear to value groups far above
         individuals,

         so

         they have no qualms about doing away with individuals who threaten
         the

         link

         between the two races (them and the Humans).

         I've only really watched one episode avidly. Basically, the show
         seems

         to

         me really really good, but not that interesting. Kinda boring,

         sometimes.

         But I can watch it in the background.

         I like it, although there is a hovering threat of slockiness. It may
         not be

         appreciable if you've missed the story so far.

         How come, on cop shows, they point a gun at the bad guy, tell him to
         'freeze,'

         then when he turns to shoot them, they duck for cover! Then close in
         to

         tackle!
