This show is an incredible crap. Even if it's intended for children, it doesn't cut the mustard. I cannot imagine any child is stupid enough to associate him/herself with any of the characters. But what I REALLY don't understand is WHY it is SO fast-paced. In a matter of 40 minutes of screen time we had: an attempt to establish a dictatorship in the USA, a successful military coup against the dictator, a successful insurrection against the military coup, peaceful surrender of the military coup and reinstating of the "civil government" (incarnated by John Locke from "Lost", so you can be sure it is a VERY confusing and utterly unnecessary role). On the alien side we had a "super weapon" intended to "destroy all life on Earth" that was created and destroyed within SEVEN MINUTES on screen. It's like a chatty kid who is trying to gobble his lunch and tell about his day at the same time. Were they worried the show would be canceled before they can tell this stupid story? Honestly, I still don't get it how they managed to last for five seasons. The brilliant alien show "Colony" with truly magnificent Josh Holloway gets canceled, but this pestilence gets FIVE SEASONS!? Damn, that Shindler List worked great for him!
