Wow people!!

Warning: Spoilers
Unfortunately I bought the entire season and I feel forced to watch it because of that. At first I thought this was basically a cop show sent to space. After watching a few episodes I realized that while that was the case it also was not that good. Very humdrum writing, plots, and acting. It seems that almost all the characters are from the UK and while that is not a problem I found it interesting, especially the Irish accented captain, talk stereotyping!! The special effects, such as there were, are usually lame. This is even before the really good CGI of today. Since I assume (I know) the budget was limited - all the aliens, droids, and cyborgs are all bipedal and humanoid in shape and most look like a version of hammerhead sharks on dry land, some with strange hair to say the least. There is some decent humor though along with all the hammy lines. Shackleford is the main character and acts almost as bad as the rest. His family is played poorly, especially the two kids and the oh so obvious pet. I think I will be passing this poor set on to some other unsuspecting person.
