   They made the mistake of "retooling" the series multiple times, instead of   
   picking a concept and sticking with it; they also fired one of the series'   
   creators at the end of the first season. Now they are left with far too many   
   partially-developed story-lines...   
      
   Also, there are large jumps in dialog and even plot continuity that make me   
   suspect they do a lot of re-writing _while_ episodes are being filmed, and   
   in some cases, even _after_ episodes are filmed --- leading to episodes that   
   make no sense. (Heck, even the _opening voice-over_ now makes no sense !!!)   
   I have the feeling that the series' syndicated format is forcing large chunks   
   of dialog to end up in the trash or on the cutting-room floor to make room   
   for all those commercials...   
      
   _Maybe_ it will get better when it moves to _The SciFi Channel_ next season ---   
   but I'm not holding my breath waiting !!!
