Firscape

I think Firscape was the worst show that we watched all quarter. I thought everything about it was what could go wrong with a sci fi. Tacky aliens, lost astronaut, I just did not like the characters. As it started I thought it might have been an interesting show. With the astronaut taking off from Earth I figured that it may be a sci fi that was actually based on Earth. It turned out to be nothing like this. I could also barely stand looking at the aliens, not only were they tacky but they were gross. One thing I did like was that the one alien did not trust the human. I thought the lack of trust of humans was an interesting twist. Normally it is humans not trusting aliens.

I was unable to relate to Firscape at all. This quarter completely surprised me in that I was able to relate to old Star Trek more then the modern sci fi's that were made in my lifetime. The sci fi's that occurring in present day, like Buffy and Angel are interesting, but I have found that I was more interested in the old Star Trek and Firefly due to there story lines. The settings of the shows we watched were essentially irrelevant to my ability to relate to the show. It is the story lines and the issues that the characters go through that made all the difference in me relating to the shows.
