Space Entertained Me

I can see that I am in the clear minority here, but what the heck, my mother always told me I was different. I actually liked Space a lot probably because I love just about anything related to this topic. In fact, when I saw the title, I was already pumped and convinced this would be fun to watch. It was....for me at least.

The space videos brought in were effective and again, made me feel more involved. Mulder's enthusiasm for being there was cool, and I liked how he had to interpret everything for Scully, and for my benefit.

The plot was simple, yet profound if you dig deeper. This being (face of Mars was neat concept) didn't want us to trespass on his planet (Mars), or thereabouts; makes sense to me.

He/she obviously is aware of our history. What we do when we explore new frontiers is....we take it over and make it ours! Thus, the being's attempt to sabotage NASA was interesting to me, but the way Belt tried to prevent this was even better. Of course, the final "struggle" if you will, was both necessary and satisfying from my perspective.

It all worked for me, and of course, I love the chemistry and dialogue between our two protagonists. That alone is worth the price of admission. Give it a try and try not to let these sourpusses here ruin it for you.
