I feel like I should be given a reward for enduring all seasons


I knew this show is crap within the first five minutes of the first episode. Why did I continue watching to the end of all five seasons? Well, it's like a train-wreck, horrible, but you just gotta see what happens. It was a huge surprise to see the name of Spielberg attached to such abysmally low quality show. Plot holes the size of planets, laughable CGI, lack of consistency, horrible weak writing, and on and on. The only thing worth watching in this show were the cute faces of some of the actors, and shenanigans of the not so cute ones. I felt like the writers of this show were all drug addicts, some on cocaine some on meth, and were replaced with new ones on every page of the script. Sometimes, all this seemed like an unintentional comedy show. Poor Captain Weaver sometimes delivered his lines with such shame, you could see his entire body stiffens from the weigh and guilt of uttering such nonsensical lines. And half of the time he looked like he's about to laugh.
None of the characters should've survived if this show had any logic. Good thing the writers of the show made the enemy so mindbogglingly stupid in contrast with for the number of fearsome technologies they possessed, but forgot to use progressively each season. Can you imagine the most high-ranking officer of the invading army standing like a twat near the enemy (the humans) without weapons, without armor and without any other help other than two scrawny skitters?
In the end I just wish I could get paid the same money that the people who created this show got for making such low-effort product. Life would be so easy.

Well said (at least that part of your post above the line).

Yea. The show is pretty crappy and every episodes and confrontation is predictable. I hate to say it but it's like a inferior Walking Dead. And I hate walking dead as well.

Oh come on, it's like a really long SyFy original B movie that is everyone's guilty pleasure, where we all yell at the characters don't do that and they do it.
