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 :)

Why? They keep Voyager going for seven years and cancel this?! Shows what a silver catsuit can do doesn't it?! This series was incredible. The best Sci Fi series I've seen by far. Great characters, interesting plot, and fabulous acting (Jessica Steen in particular). It's just such a shame it wasn't given a chance. What happened with Devon? Did they reach New Pacifica? Might be nice if someone decided to do a few novels. Just a hint! Thanks for creating a series that combined an intriguing story with realistic characters (Star Trek writers take note!)
Wonderful characters, acting and plot. One of the few Science Fiction shows to hold my interest more than 1 episode. I loved the Gaian element about environment protection. The "dramatic saga" feel to the show was a fresh approach to the Warring Spaceships that most shows use. The only horrible thing about the show was it only had 22 episodes.
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.

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.
