Star of "Earth: Final Conflict", fired after Season 1. The show suffered
a lot for it.

I do agree the show suffered for his loss after the first season.
Still, I think the show suffered a lot for the constant meddling that
the suits did with the show. Each season seemed to be worse than the
previous one.

And the truth of the matter is that there were a lot of clunkers during
Season 1.

No. There really weren't.

The stupid butterflies? The Amish? You liked that episode? The Scarecrow?

A favorite actress was introduced in one of the episodes I didn't like,
Kari Matchett. She could act, so of course she couldn't be added to the
regular cast.

Yeah, Kari was a high point. Enjoying her right now in NERO WOLFE.

Season One has some great stuff, especially "Sandoval's Run", but the
show did get weaker when Zo'or was introduced. I never liked the
character, although I did like the actress Anita La Selva.

yes

What kept me watching through later seasons was Von Flores. I couldn't
watch any of Season 5 though.

God, the avatars, that made that stupid howling noise at random even
when they were speaking and/or had their mouths shut.

It's too bad this show was murdered. The cast was great, with a couple of
notorious exceptions, and it was certainly the best concept for a television
series in a long time, better than "V".

I bailed long before you. That stupid parallel Earth that only had
25,000 people on it, but had a duplicate of all the regulars, or
whatever the hell was going on there. But when they made Jayne
Heitmeyer the lead, it was all over.

Stargate Universe SGU: It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!
It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!
