Earth 2

This series was just wonderful. It had everything, the science fiction, the Robinson Crusoe-effect, the psychological aspect... Everything!

It's just too bad it didn't get a real ending. I still wonder what was meant to happen. It just is sad.

What can I say? It's been years since this show met its untimely demise at the hands of vision-impaired network execs but it still deserves a word or two.

This is one of a number of shows from around 1995-1996 which showed incredible promise yet were mercilessly killed early. Others include "Nowhere Man" and "Space: Above and Beyond".

Earth 2 was imaginative and intelligent (rare in the current TV era). There are some parallels to the settlement of the American West, with the dangers of raw nature and the dealings with native species. In many ways it had the promise of "doing it over again" and this time hoping we get it RIGHT (no more massacres).

This show is worth a view on SciFi for its human element and ongoing plot twists. While too much time has passed to hope of a revival, we can at least enjoy it for what it was and curse the networks for keeping alive only dumbed-down versions of "Trek".

This was a sci-fi show with a little more brains than the most, so of course it had to die. Every time a show shows some brains, the ratings drop :)

Great use of ecology, good actors, no ending.

And another question: why do spaceships have some dumb air friction sound every time? They are in space for god's sake! And don't get me started on the fizzling lasers :)

This was a great show -- thank you SciFi channel for saving it from oblivion. Great character development and cast. But what a cruel joke to play on the audience by ending the series with a cliff-hanger! I am so disappointed that we will never know Devin's fate or solve the mysteries of the Human/Terrian connection.

When you read the reviews you see that there is no middle ground. You either love it or hate it. To me, it wasn't that radical, but I can certainly understand the feelings involved. Bored with recipe sci-fi series with the military crew on a ship doing justice for... justice's sake, one becomes to expect everything from any series that has a shred of originality.

Well, Earth 2 is not the answer. While it did have a nice starting point, a "crew" of civilians and interesting aliens, the script pretty much sucked, being either too smart, either too dumb. However, it sure beats the hell out of Lost and other mumbo jumbo series that now win award after award. I can almost feel sorry for the poor writers that would have to quickly end those series when the audience drops.

So yeah, Earth 2 was rather original and no, it wasn't very well written, but I'd rather watch a poorly written show with a good idea than a predictable and boring very well written one. Unluckily for me, I just love sci-fi, so I'll probably watch them all, good and bad.
