I enjoyed it. Though the final season gets kinda...odd... is probably the best way to describe it.

From the second season on you learn a lot more about the aliens and their motivations.

OK just finished the first season last night and have to say, it's fun but it's also one of the worst written shows of all time.

Who was the twit that wrote those episodes?

Last episode alien lands and big chief alien walks out of ship. Perfect chance for total chaos if they put lots of bullets into the boss alien and kill him. But noooooooo Tom Mason diplomacy.

"I'll just drop all my weapons and walk onto the ship."

I hear this is a recurring theme through the whole series that Tom Mason talks, and talks, and talks, and dropping his weapons..

I'd like to make up my own headcanon for this show and even cross over genre and wonder how the Doctor would have handled the Espheni having landed on Earth and seeing the whole planet is basically fucked over good and proper like it is in the show..

He would probably talk, and talk, and talk to the Queen and if he couldn't convince her to surrender he'd manipulate someone to do the dirty and kill her...

I'm going to continue to watch the show but man it's funny for all the wrong reasons..
