This was a very good show which was cut early due to ratings.....it is a shame that Sci-Fi could not pick it up with new episodes as I believe they did with Sliders!!!
Another alien type show which never found a large enough share of the ratings market!!!

I thought it was great and was disappointed when I found out it had been cancelled. It is a shame that the TV companies can't have a longer term view.
It seems to be a vicious circle: can't keep a show going with insufficient projected advertising/syndication revenues; avoid making lower-budget drama because of a perception that it won't appeal to the right demographic.
As someone else mentioned above, the mixing of actual historical incidents in to the alien conspiracy worked very well IMO.

Loved this show. Was really looking forward to seeing the story progress decade by decade. And Jeri Ryan was far sexier than she is in Voyager.
Anyone know if the series will be released on DVD? I know the pilot is available in R2, but I'd rather wait for the (inevitably superior) R1 releases.
