I enjoyed this drama to a certain degree. It had good visuals and mystery aplenty. However, the proof of the pudding is in the ending. And what that came to was a bit of a mess. When your audience has sat through eight hours or so, why can't you just give them something like resolution of the various storylines? They could do that in the original Star Trek within 50 minutes and the endings were always satisfying. In this, however, what you get is a few crumbs thrown to the hungry viewers. What that suggests is that they (a) are liking to string this out longer than something going through a black hole and/or (b) they just don't have a clue themselves. The point is that this is lazy writing. It throws all these mysteries at the viewer but is not honest enough to do anything properly meaningful with them. So, the mystery continues, minus that little ole thing called 'meaning'. Sorry to be so harsh, but it's a bit of a con.
