The sets and effects are dated, and the first season or more is painfully rough, but the stories are pretty good and get better quickly, as do the actors as they grow into their roles. I like it and I think the later seasons hold up well. Considering it was shot on a small budget in a former big-box store, with no marquee names, I think it's still excellent space opera. I think it's notable for having started the trend of long-form SF story-telling picked up by later series. (Notably the Battlestar Galactica reboot and The Expanse, though Andromeda and Dark Matter have long-form elements as well.)<br /><br /> Everyone, thanks for sharing! I, too was serious seasonal Sudafed user, back when the real thing was simpler to buy. As they have tinkered with the formulation, trying to make it less easier for criminal chemists to use, it seemed to get less effective and I stopped.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-5367552918362415652018-09-24T22:27:19.343-04:002018-09-24T22:27:19.343-04:00One side benefit of being placed on a CPAP is my s...One side benefit of being placed on a CPAP is my spring and fall sinus flareups have stopped or been a lot milder. I think it's a combination of the air filter and humidifier.<br /><br />Hope this episode passes quickly.RandyGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758726126424011542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-9497927777538224282018-09-24T22:08:35.799-04:002018-09-24T22:08:35.799-04:00Rick T, Nice Babylon 5 reference.

Considering the weather, and where they live, I'd venture to guess the moldering leaves in the woods allowed mold spore proliferation. Whatever it is, they usually spend a few weeks dealing with sinus infections.
