Sigh of despair, it really is Hercules in Space

In the very first two seasons, this show had potential. Sure, the acting was a bit stiff, and some of the plots a bit creaky, but there were interesting story-arcs developing, the show looked great, and the characters were interesting. Sadly, Kevin Sorbo fired the main writer, chiefly because he was unable to understand the complex story lines that were being woven into the show, and didn't think that audiences could handle it either, despite the fact that the complex science fiction show Babylon 5 is one of the best and most popular sci-fis of all time. After Sorbo took a greater role in the shaping of the show, it degenerated into Hercules in space, with no greater meaning, no deep or interesting characters, just Sorbo flying around fighting bad guys.

Avoid this trash. If you want good science fiction, with interesting characters and sophisticated story lines, Farscape, Firefly, and Babylon 5 are all out on DVD.
