It's not the show's fault that CBS is so stupid. It's a lot better than shows that are still on the air.
Oh well, I guess that answers my question.. I was going to say something along the lines of "great show, how long before it gets axed".. seems CBS beat me to it. I think it's a cracking show, and I was a HUGE sceptic about it being remade, knowing how some American remakes of British TV can turn out (no offence to any Americans.. our remakes can be equally bad!). Being a Patrick Stewart fan anyway, the British version of this was pretty much in the bag before I'd started watching it, so hearing of a remake made my brain hurt!
As it transpires, they did a damn fine job with it; dare I say, in some places, as good as, or even better than, the original. Just got to Felix's third episode, and what a great character. I was really glad when he joined the team, so to find that I'm only going to have two more episodes before I wave goodbye to the three primary characters now is very disappointing.
It seems whenever a really decent piece of TV, usually Sci-Fi, is created, they decide to axe it just as it hots up, while other shows (like X-Files) start off as terrific, and then get milked to the point that they are virtually unwatchable, and it takes them YEARS before they get the hint and axe the stale garbage.
It was good while it lasted, and I'll certainly be watching it to the very last episode, cliff-hanger or not. I'd definitely recommend others do the same; it'll be a pity to see it go, but it would be much more of a shame if anyone missed out on some fantastic episodes because some idiot at CBS decided to pull the plug....
