It's funny how memory can play tricks on you.
I got the DVDs of this show for Christmas, and have been watching them on and off since I got back. I have vague memories of it being rather entertaining, sort of a worthy precursor to the new Battlestar Galactica.
But I guess I was wrong. The CGI is sub-Babylon 5 (which was in its 3rd series when this was made), and shockingly bad at times. The plots are okay, if rather simple. The acting is often laughable, with two exceptions, neither belonging to the main cast. All in all, it's just a poor show.
Still better than Voyager, though!
