This series started off good, took a weird and barely entertaining turn in season 4, and ended with a dud. I spent 5 summers watching this show only to have the climatic victory last around 10 minutes. They tried to introduce too many new characters and story lines with very few episodes left, leaving the last season feeling crowded and unfinished. The aliens entire reason for the invasion might be one of the stupidest moments I've seen on TV, right up there with the Rachel/Joey romance and that weird ending to Lost with all it's flash forwards and sideways crap the last few seasons. I mean come on, earth defeated the aliens once with sticks and rocks and it took these guys 5 years to do it? I'm not buying it. Like I said I enjoyed the show early on but I only hung around the last few seasons to see how it would end, and now I'm glad it's over.
