Damn, I have to go hunting, I didn’t know a new season had come out so my DVR isn’t set, I hope season 3 sticks to being more like season 1 or the second half of season 2, I didn’t care for what felt like a change in tone away from the Alien aspect in the first half of season 2.

I’ve enjoyed her work in Resident Alien, she was also really good in Chuck.

I agree, it was really disjointed when airing on TV, it’s much better when watching in the right order.

Ratings weren’t good, so ad sales were probably bad, It barely made the top 100 TV shows in the ratings and was getting 4.7 million views on average according to Google. At the time that was not a good number, Fox’s teen drama The O.C. which came out in 2003 was doing 7-10 million viewers an episode for its first year. Sadly, sci-fi shows usually get bad ratings and advertisers don’t want to pay to put ads on those shows and then boom, cancelled.

People will point to Buffy and Angel as examples of Sci-Fi that wasn’t canceled sometimes, and that’s not fair because they aired on UPN/CW and that channel has always allowed bad ratings.

Frakes recently renewed his call for the episode “Code of Honor” from season 1 to be completely removed from reruns, home video, and steaming platforms. He made the call in the past. So while they might not ever remove it, some people would like it to be removed.

“But I was told or I was under the impression that it had rubbed so many people the wrong way that it was pulled. I think they should take it out of the rotation. I think it is a great time to make that kind of – as small as it is – to make that kind of a statement would be fabulous.”

Also, I just realized I posted this on the completely wrong article that I thought I was, I thought I was posting to a different topic about Frakes’ request to remove the episode after finding out it was on Paramount’s streaming service.

I hate this reaction to removal they want, I’m a big fan of the placement card at the start of these things that say “What you are about to see is wrong and shouldn’t have been done,” but not that removal of the content. I think it’s way more powerful to put that content warning placard before a show from the '90s as proof there are still things that need to be done and it’s not a “distant” past thing.

Edit, I guess '80s for this episode.
