Review of Earth 2

Earth 2 (1994–1995)
6/10
Great "idea" - poor writing.
3 December 2006
Love sci-fi, esp sci-fi without all the pointless shoot 'em up for 60 minutes.

The concept/story line here was great. But the writers ruined it. There was so much they could have written for the characters to "explore" and travel the new world. Instead, they have kids doing stupid things getting them into trouble (taking the show to a attempted comedic level), and characters who acted so stupidly - not believably. Too many episodes around some dumb tw*t doing something stupid after being asked not to, thus costing time, food, supplies etc, then rescuing them.

This show could have gone places.

And the DVD? Episode 19 is the final show, you can tell by what happens. Then episodes 20 and 21 take place as if 19 never did!!!!! 20 and 21 could have been 18.1 and 18.2 and it would have been more logical! Yes the networks should have given it a chance - but maybe they too saw these flaws. When characters are this "stupid" and do "stupid things", people lose interest in them and so the show.

I still lived the show, for what it could have been, bought the DVDs, enjoyed it, but am still disappointed! Maybe if someone else took it from here, they could really tell some need stories, there is so much that could be written.
