For what I intend to do, this series merits a complete and total ten. I watched this series one hundred percent because Brent Spiner (Dr. Nigel Fenway) is in it. That's all. From a member of his faithful little army, IT'S WORTH IT. Good god, is that man stunning. You have to wonder what CBS was thinking when they decided to can this series without even bothering to tell us. When is Hollywood going to learn that thirtysomething women are really, really, really into older men? How many Lara Flynn Boyles and Callista Flockharts have to date how many Jack Nicholsons and Harrison Fords before these morons figure out that what younger women want is that touch of gray with gorgeous eyes and a perfect backside? I could seriously go on forever about it, and I might.

It doesn't hurt that the series is important and engaging. If you're in a mind to question recent "national security" efforts, the story here will definitely give you pause. Everything about the story will have you asking "What if that's really why they're doing this?" You'll spend a few days in a dream seeing aliens everywhere. It's really a great ride, and if you're into scifi at all, you'll love it.

But if you're one of my grrlz (and if you are, you know who you are) you owe it to yourself to catch the series. Spiner's absolutely mindblowing. Buy wine and chocolates first.
