I think, much like "Children of Earth", they had a good idea for five hours of television. The problem was they had to fill 10. The season premiere was fine, the finale had its moments, loved the episodes about Angelo. Take the useful scraps from the other episodes (and lose Oswald, the most disgusting storyline ever). Just really disappointing. TVG -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
