No kidding! Themis tried to recruit some positive thinkers from a Sorbo list and we all refused to go. What's the point? If you actually LIKE the show or, heaven forbid!, actually LIKE Kevin Sorbo, you are seen as some sort of brain dead pond scum and are treated as such.
I go over once a week or so and see if someone from the show posted a thread and read their posts. Period. I do hope the folks on the show know that the Slipstream BBS is NOT the be all and end all of Drom fandom.

Ah, but to get this, they would have had to PAY ATTENTION when the ministers of war were talking and the Slippers were too busy complaining about the good looking blondes to actually listen to the dialogue! (I LOVED Harper's reaction to the Ministers. Heheheh. But then, I have a sense of humor and the Slip requires anyone with one of these to leave immediately if not sooner.)

They hate Dylan. They hate Kevin Sorbo. If he behaved exactly the way they wanted in an episode, they'd still find something to complain about because that is what they do! I had no problem with the man giving orders AND he did NOT order Tyr to accompany them, even though he knew it was in Tyr's best interests to get a grip on Tyr's problems. (Which I see as not just the result of the tunnel BUT the result of his son, which means he has something to live for.)

Another point I bet they missed was that the enemy REALLY WAS MAKING NOVA BOMBS. This wasn't "we think maybe the enemy is doing something rotten" it was WE KNEW THE ENEMY was up to no good. Plus, we saw, very clearly, that destroying the factory did nothing for the people. I.E. military action ISN'T going to solve everything.
I thought the slipfighter stuff went on too long but my husband--one of those creatures with a Y chromosome--loved it.
I liked the messages--yeah, Trance is definitely some sort of embodiment of a star--and the music and the humor and the sorrow and those leather slipfighter uniforms. Woof!
