If I hear Cochise say "there is, one other option" again I'm going to snap. He always says it after they've come up some impossible plan. I'm surprised nobody has said "dude wtf" lol

... They go to the FUCKING MOON

So, I loved this show as a kid even though I could still tell the ending was a real stinker. I decided to rewatch it now that it is on Netflix. One thing that has been bothering me in the first season tho is that like, Mason your wife died not that long ago right? Like, it had only been six months since the invasion. Its been months since you found your wife's dead body in the street tom. Why are you flirting with this woman?

Idk, maybe he hated his wife but like, this is really weird. I feel like tom should be more hung up over the dead mother of his three children than he is. Its a minor point and I remember she comes back somehow but like, this feels so bizarre. Did they feel obligated to set the male lead and the obligatory woman character up?

So, I binged it. I was with it until the pregnant Anne/Lexi thing.

I’m a published author.

Just felt so rushed and forced and like it was meant to be fleshed out over 2/3 seasons, but crammed into the episodes.

I literally thought that was the point that the show jumped the shark. She turned into a nothing burger by the end.

I didn’t care about their emotional ties to her as it just felt so rushed. From then on it was eh. Just felt rushed and forced.

Shame, because I generally loved the show!

EDIT: oh and making Pope bald and go all bond villian….no. Felt like they just needed a bad guy for some reason so forced this. IMO this wasn’t his character at all.
