It seems they don't have the budget to do anything exciting with the aliens and the associated action; I'm OK with that, it's understandable. What's not understandable is that the writing seems to have been made on a shoe-string too. From episode to episode it just seems to be getting sloppier and more predictable.…

Amen to that!

Good question, have they got a plan.

Not just a step down, a big step down. I think it's the first time that I've genuinely felt frustrated by this show. They wasted an entire episode with scenes which ranged from sappy to downright stupid. And while I agree with much of the review, I think the grade it was given was much too generous.
