this be simply a great show . i glance through some of the many comment which savage this show and and frankly and i do not really get it . this program have a typical sci fi premise and with the twist of add a slick and insidious dictator along the line of a self righteous ayn rand villain . the special effect and action be a bit cheesy and but the show play it tongue in cheek ( laser whip and really . ) . the plot and character interaction steadily improve throughout the show and flash ally on mongo be portray a a less of two evil instead of be self righteous freedom fighter . each of the individual canton have a unique look and culture . the plot steadily build and the final five episode be amaze represent inevitable and yet soundly execute . man and i really have no ides why people do not love this show .
