Boy, has this show gone downhill. Haven’t caught tonight’s episode, but it seems the remaining characters just aren’t pulling their weight…

Sandoval – didn’t like him before, he is only alive by the contrivances of the writers

Street – Used to be good, now looks like Ronald McDonald

Palmer – Isn’t as great as last season, and she can’t shoulder the entire show with the absense of Liam Kincaid

Aliens – Need to show us enough to care about them

Assorted human baddies – Yawn

I can’t believe they got rid of Auger and Liam.

I’m sorry, but this season is not the correct answer. They should have used the “ask the audience” lifeline.

Amazing timing, **Controvert** … I was just looking for a thread on this show.

I was going to say everything that you said about the quality going downhill. Is this the final season (the dreaded 5-year end of the series?), or will they whore out Roddenberry’s name for another year?

Ok, saw this weeks and it was a definite improvement. I liked the running gag with Street’s hair. If they keep this up, they might actually redeem themselves.

I’ve never seen an entire episode and it’s never grabbed my interest, but I did want to pop in and praise the thread title. It’s very clever.
