Great cast, Thrilling story, New twist. Absolutly loved it! I was so upset when I heard it was cancelled! If this series had been brought to TV 10 years ago it would have lasted 10 seasons. I really wanted to know how the series was going to end and if they were going to make it back to earth. i guess we will never know. :( „

Man that was brilliant. Some of the actors play in other series now, Like the actor who played Kyle Savage (seen as a bad boy in several "cop" series) or the blond girlfriend (played cute girls in several shows, she is now... Penny of The Big Band Theory).
