i think i have a love or hate relation ship with this series . the show begin so very promising . there be mythological mystery of the new world and a conspiracy hail back from earth 1 and quite likable character and a goal for the character to reach ( and thus a chance for the show ( and the character ) to grow ) . i think i watch every single episode of it and whenever an episode be over i think this show suck and yet and i always come back . what go wrong . imho they focus on the wrong character ( the kid and the overprotective mother be just plain annoy ) and the plot just drag on and on ( which can be say about pretty much every episode and but also on the series a a whole ) and without reach satisfy peak and without noticeable progress on the character mission to reach new pacifica and without a closure that suit the promise make by the set up of the series . i think in this regard it pretty comparable to st voayager while there be a mission for the series and they speak about it all the time and it never felt like they make any measurable progress . ( ok and voyager have a crappy wrap up episode and a very few amuse episode but this do not make it than earth2 . ) .
