I watch this on my computer that has two monitors. One monitor is for the show and the other monitor is for my web browser. I'm constantly doing other things on the web while this show slogs on. If I didn't have the internet to distract me, I would have stopped watching this already.
Character building should have tapered at episode 3 at the latest and they should have moved on with the invasion plot. It's episode 9 and theirs's no real invasion plot. There are some weird looking aliens, but we still have no information/insights about them at all. They seem to just be there so that the actors can make bad decisions and say inane things.
