I have to put my two bits of opinion although a lot of what I was going to say has already been said. I was hooked from the first show and I began to lose interest in the middle of third when John Rhys-Davies left. I like almost everything he is in but in a lot of his shows, I think the suits did not like him. He was the glue that held the show together and after he disappeared, other members of the cast did not mix well with the replacement (s). One by one members began to leave the show and I did not care for the angle of the Kromaggs.
As has already been said, there was too much instability in the cast and it looks like there was too much interference from the suits and too much backstabbing within the cast after the replacements began to appear. I see a number of them are no longer in the acting business. I think I gave up after season 3. I am surprised it lasted six seasons. They could have done better if they had gotten more sci-fy writers who understood the show and I think they are out there even today. There have been a lot of series that used short stories written by writers of the genre.
Since it went away around 2000, I think it would succeed today if there were the right people to run it. Said people should also know enough of when to keep their fingers out of areas that they don't know about. Think about it.
