I want to know why Earth 2 went down the memory hole. Was I just looking at it through rose-tinted glasses and it was actually awful or something? I thought the worldbuilding alone made it a good watch.
It wasn't awful, it was just hapless. It probably would have gotten its sea legs in a second season.
Sad story: the actress who played the little girl died a day after her honeymoon and 8 days before her 22nd birthday, from a heart attack. (She'd had a heart transplant when she was 15.)
That’s so sad. She was great on the show, even holding her own alongside the legendary Tim Curry.
I actually rewatched it a few years ago and it wasn't awful.
If they’re gonna reboot Earth 2 they also should reboot Space: Above & Beyond
I was enjoying the hell out of that show until they ran out of money and decided that since they were "Marines" they didn't have to fly their ships anymore.
