    There seems to be no thread for this show.



    [​IMG]


    I've just finished watching the end of season 4.

    There used to be a british show in the 80s called The Tripods, this show reminded me of that, similar in it being about overthrowing already invaded alien oppressors, but not too similar as in no pickup trucks or burger king product placements

    Anyway, have been sucked in, no better scifi than this show for over a decade methinks

    Although some of the CGI, especially the "fisheads" looks like straight from a bad PS1 game, but storyline awesome and nailbiting

    Im glad Lourdes died, she was annoying

    Any other fans?

    I saw a few episodes of one of the seasons, I think 3. But just as I was getting into it, I moved and haven't watched it since.

    Season 4 is probably the best, most action anyway

    The finale was pretty lame

    He has the can of anti aspheni bug spray next to him, and the queen doesnt even notice.

    The writers couldnt come up with anything better than that.

    One of the lamest series finales in sci fi anyway

    Mucho dissappointed

    No. The lamest ending ever in sci-fi was the finale of Stargate sg-1.that show was so fucking epic and they ended it with the most boring episode possible.

    Yeah, but by that time it was season 10 and half the cast left

    The real finale was back in season 8 i think, the one where they go back to ancient egypt

    Ah, this was a good show. I enjoyed watching it. I don't really get to see a lot of stuff with Will Patton in it, but it was great seeing him play a good guy because only other thing I've seen with him in it so far has been The Postman, in which he played a bad guy(and was awesome!).

    There was a thread back in 2011 although I don’t know what happened to it.

    I watched it until they moved out of Massachusetts and headed south.

    I thought it was kinda of cool when they mentioned my hometown several times, and even attempted to resupply themselves at the same store I frequent every week.

    I am on holidays now, wanted to download and watch it again, but no one seeds it. And I hate those free online streaming sites

    It got pretty cool at the end

    It is one of the best sci fi tv shows made

    In my top 5
