Sappy Romance posing as Sci Fi

shoppsi

This could have been so good, but ended up so disappointing. What could have been a great sci-fi action series ended up being a pre-teen soap full of the most unbelievably stupid characters ever written. I actually felt sorry for the actors.

The only bright spot is the Bubble character; that actor does an amazing job and the writers took some time to make him into a dimensional human being. The others characters are shallow and have the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old. Most of the episodes are narrated by the 5 year old and she is one of the smartest ones there.

Almost every scene that COULD be fast paced and interesting is cut away and a sappy romance is inserted. All of the action is halted and we have to look at cut scenes where they centre in on the character's motionless faces...to convey depth of feeling, I suppose, but in actuality it makes the characters look stupid.

It's like a Harlequin Romance novel dressed up as Science fiction.

None of the science is even remotely believable. They even make basic mistakes in 3rd grade level science, like saying mallards don't migrate. Since when?

score 5/10
