I hate it when they don't put the pilot on the first season DVD set!

Some of the acting is a little hoaky, the graphics effects don't really hold up well to todays special effects, but the thing that is amazing about this series is the story itself. I love that a small conflict in season one comes back in season three ten-fold. It's amazing to what the plotting in this series and see how intricate everything is.
I will be the third in highly recommending this series.
