Urr.. well, I have an incredibly high tolerance for bad sci-fi, and some
of the episodes really annoyed _me_!

With better script-writers and, in several places, cast, it had
potential.

Unfortunately, from what I've heard - it may well get lose - Mr. Sorbo
apparently has a certain amount of control, and wishes it to be more
action-oriented & episodic :-(

Expect it to turn into something a TNT exec would like...

But I quite like the ships though :-)
