On Episode 10, and it's no wonder why this show was cancelled.

I'm just fed up with the ineptitude and lack of competence of the characters on this show exhibit. (e.g) Right now in Ep. 10, the blood sample of the spy was compromised in the lab. Jim new that was their only way to 100% identify the spy. It's <i>that</i> important, and he doesn't put a guard outside the door? Doesn't tell his Wife to lock the door even? Doesn't setup remote surveillance, check on it, or even just wait for someone to show up and destroy the sample.

I'll finish the show, but it's clear the writers weren't very intelligent.

Yeah, brannon braga's an idiot.

My biggest laugh was the episode the dad and simpering daughter got trapped in the "holo-deck" and the no key required over ride for the lock, was on the OUTSIDE just under the the security system that kept people out of the room.

o.O

That's akin to hanging your front door key on a string tied to the outside doorknob.

Granted, the lever should have been on the inside where someone who was trapped could access it, but as for a security system, so many people walked in and out of that room it appears it's only function was to record who had been there.

Bingo! you have an idiot-driven plot-people do idiotic things in order for the plot to go forward;

Like in 28 days later, the woman isolated in the ICU with some kind of resistance to the plague-first of all ICUs and recoup room are crowded with doctors and nurses-seems like she had the whole floor to herself-not even a guard posted let along doctors hovering over her for hours testing-trying to isolate a serum

idiot driven plot so she could easily meet her end

He was too trusting. Bet he won't make that mistake again.

Yes, the bad writing is the biggest fault of this show unfortunately...
