Thank you for your comments, Rodney. I will stick with it.
With the first trilogy, I found the first third alright, with stellar effects.
S02 was better in almost every way, and S03 was a superb capper.

With S04, the series seemed to backstep, rebuilding as it were.
I realize the show is character driven, but characters on the new colony and their conflicts bored me.
Fortunately, the producers are working from “published” works, so I am hoping to avoid the disappointment that was GoT.

Thanks again for your insights; I appreciate them.
