While I'll miss the show, I won't miss the neverending additions of bad stories and characters. When they killed off Boone, I was surprised but I eventually liked the character of Liam. Renee Palmer has never been one of my favorite characters. I personally think the actress isn't very convincing. And then they went and killed off Liam AND got rid of Augur. Well I guess there are always old reruns. I don't think I'll want to watch this last season over again. And the damn Ativus who are obviously nothing more than cheesy space vampires. They're nothing like what the Atavus first appeared as. I happen to have really liked the original Atavus.<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.mordea.com/img/ata.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://www.mordea.com/img/ata2.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />So long, show!<br /> <br /> <small>[ May 04, 2002, 19:37: Message edited by: DeadCujo ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>U//Magnus</b> <br /><small>Member # 239</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,4,5,0,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">May 05, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:46 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> THAT MAN LOOKS LIKE A RAISIN!

He and I have had quite a few good conversations about E:FC.<br /><br />Anyway, Season 1 was definitely the best by far. But even Seasons 2-4 were works of art compared to Season 5, which (for the most part) is really really bad. Renee does not make a strong lead, the Atavus are really stupid, and Sandoval is reduced to a lackey.<br /><br />And yes, there do appear to be several sorts of Atavus:<br /><br />Atavus #1 (Devolved Taelon): Results when a Taelon is cut off from the Commonality. This is the "old raisin man" in the first picture. Generally quite savage. Seen in at least two episodes, from Season 2 or 3, I think.<br /><br />Atavus #2 (Taelon-Jaridian Hybrid): Results when a Taelon and Jaridian of about equal energy fuse together. Only seen in one episode in Season 4 when Da'an and some Jaridian whose name escapes me fused together briefly. These are also apparantly the type of Atavus that they were trying to create in the Season 4 finale.<br /><br />Atavus #3 (True Atavus?): These Atavus were apparantly banished from their homeworld before the Atavus evolved into Taelons and Jaridians, and they colonized Earth. On Earth, they found they had to feed off the energy of other beings to survive. They were forced into stasis when a meteor shower hit the planet, and the apparantly botched fusion in the Season 4 finale caused six of them to be revived. Howlyn, the really stupid leader of these Atavus, is the one in the second picture.<br /> <br /> <small>[ May 05, 2002, 15:06: Message edited by: Krenim ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Omega</b> <br /><small>Member # 91</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,4,6,6,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">May 06, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:22 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> This show's hopeless.
