Rating: - Earth 2
I enjoyed watching Earth 2, it`s a shame that it only had one series.
it would be much better if it ended better,than just finsh,with no ending, i like to know how it ended, 2nd to last part seems to be in wrong place it be much better nearer the front,that`s all that`s up with it. So if you watch Earth 2 ,watch 2nd to last part,somewhere near 1st or 2nd Disc.
Rating: - The Inspiration Of Lost?
Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but there seems to be some very close correlations between this one season flop (though I enjoyed it not & then), to the hugely popular TV giant, LOST.
1. Just so happens there's a dr. on the plane, named Julia. There's a Julia on Lost, whose also a dr.
2. Obviously the crashed plane/space ship. With no way to get home.
3. Select groups already know about the planet/island, and have been using it.
4. The Others: We have "Others" on Earth2,
-Who were already on the planet
-Know its secrets
-Mean our heros harm
-Have infiltrated the group
-Believe the colonists/survivors do not "think" properly
5. A crazy shipwecked castaway/criminal. Gaal-Russo.
6. Planet/Island has mysterious healing properties. Ulysses/Locke
7. Seperation of survivors-Tale section/emergency pods
8. Each series has Clancy Brown-Danziger on E2/Dharma Initiative hatch button pusher, CIA guy in Saheed's flashback to the Gulf War.
9. And of course (insert drum roll) they both have John Friggin Locke. Course his character isn't Locke on Earth2, but... it just seems too much of a coincidence
Tell me what you think. Do you have anything I've missed?

Excellent and great value for the price. I really miss this series. I think it was ahead of its time. Nowadays, a sci-fi series like this would be a hit. It was really developing its characters and the storyline was believable in a "Lost" sort of way.
Rating: - single season for a new Earth
The kind of SciFi series based on characters rather than FX. Credible, sensitive... and yet imaginative and entertaining. The story of a group of various humans who has to deal with a difficult environment to complete a mission of colonization. Danger is all around, inside the ranks sometimes. Geology, weather, animals however small, the indigenous lifeforms, and of course a greater mystery... Classical some might say, but worth reminding 14 years later. One season and it was over... too bad...

I didn't know what the series would be like when I ordered it, and was happily pleasantly surprised to find the episodes interesting, even endearing in some ways. True, the characters were rather flat at times, and the conclusion of each episode quite expected; but I liked that the 'aliens' were not all that 'alienating' and that the dynamics between the characters developed as the series went along. It was a nice diversion, and I found myself watching the series every night until it was over, and was disappointed that it did not continue--I wanted to know what happened later, how the colonist did, if they found what they were looking for, etc.
Overall, was a fun series to watch, and a bonus is that it is a 'clean' show from the point of view of family-watching. Never a bad thing in this day and age.
The only remark I have that is slightly negative is that one of the episodes is out of order and therefore a bit disorienting as to what happened before what. Other than that--delightful.
