Can't find it on settings anywhere..

I remembered I had watched it when it came out but turns out I only watched the first season it seems.

For me the 4th season was terrible but the 5th season was fine. I think I have two major complains (and a lot of smaller ones lol).

First one is that Tom Mason is an asshole. He has god complex but masks it well. Pope was the only one who saw right through it. >!The episode where Sara dies they had one hour to get to the Espheni factory. About 10km drive to Sara's location and to the Espheni factory. They could have easily managed to go first to Sara and then to the factory. It's not like there are speed limits anymore. Mason just decided that they will not be saving Sara.!<

Second one is that the final battle and the finale in general was way too short. >!This whole world war and then it takes one man (who is like a god at this point) to wipe out an entire species...!<I was shocked when I started the final episode and saw it was only 46mins as I thought there were a lot of things that should be shown. The finale was rushed and >!it lacked a proper battle.!<

One smaller thing I'd like to mention as well is the whole "history professor can be usefull in war due to his knowledge" thing being kind of abandoned after the pilot. Yeah it was cheesy in the pilot but it would have been cool for Mason to throw a few facts here and there more often. "Let's try this tactic that worked for the Germans in the battle of this and that in WWI", "We can build this weapon that was used in the 100 year war by the French" etc etc

All in all a solid 3,5/5 for me. 4/5 or 5/5 on seasons 1-3, 2/5 for season 4 and 3/5 for season 5.
