    you may or may not like it, but I can almost guarantee this won't be why.


    for a while it becomes the opposite of the X files - you wish they'd just drop the main plot (doesn't really start until season 2) and just do side eps because the main story becomes a complete mess, but it has rallied nicely here by season 4 or 5 or whatever it's on.

    It isn't a great show by any means but if you're a sci fi person I would stick with it.

    I see now.

    Just started season 3 and it is really annoying me. The main reason is that I hate knowing something that the main characters don't as you just end up watching them bumble their way along waiting for them to catch up with what you know so the story can continue.

    I think that for a show/movie/w/e to have characters not knowing something important that the viewer knows it needs to be a much higher quality for it to remain interesting.
