@finfan Very much agree. I remember dropping this show in the 60s episodes (though i really can't remember) around 5 years ago. I remember liking the first season but can't remember much after that. I do remember some of the combat scenes would just go on and on with lame background music, and the stories weren't that good and nothing much was being done for the characters either. I remember looking online for answers why it was so different and to give some more perspective to how i was feeling about the show. I read a wonderful review that i would read after each season and i shared in excitement of the first and agreed as the seasons went on that it got worse, and simply it got to the point where the reviewer dropped the show, they said they weren't enjoying it anymore. It was like i had woken up or something, because then when i watched an episode or few more i realized i wasn't really enjoying it either, and dropped the show. Yeah so turns out the main writer/showrunner left after season 1 or midway through season 2 which explains the difference. Real shame because i remember really liking the first season, such potential. The main writer wrote some comments on a forum of how we would have continued the show after season 1 and it actually seems pretty good. Been a long time though so mabye if i rewatch the show i'll have a different view.
Edit: So, i've been rewatching this show for a while, and i'm in the middle of the third season. It's been a lot better than i remembered. The first season is good and then yeah it drops off, probably because the showrunner left, but it's still pretty decent, and there's some good episodes now and then.
@sarosauce I love sci-fi but I don't just watch a show because it is sci-fi. Main reason for me to get into this was Gene Roddenberry. I am a big Star Trek fan and I wanted to see what else he did. Maybe that's the problem. With Trek the bar was very, very high and this was nothing like Trek. Still, I started watching it twice and both times I quit so I probably just don't like it anyway.

Quit watching after about 40 episodes because quite frankly I couldn't stand it any longer.
I love science fiction but this I could never really get into. It had some good episodes but they were almost always followed by a bunch of bad to mediocre ones. The budget couldn't have been much because it looked cheap on every corner - sfx, masks, props - the sound effects were almost comical at times. I could have stand all this if they had at least decent writing or some science in science fiction. They had neither. And some admittingly good looking girls in tight outfits are not enough.
If other people like - fine by me - but I was hugely dissapointed.
