Your description of the bad science was enough to hurt my brain, and this is coming from a guy who owns “The Man with the Screaming Brain” and thinks it’s (if not good) at least a fun watch.

I suppose it should be pointed out that Species 2 has the ‘redeeming factor’ of Natasha Henstridge topless, and this (being an ABC miniseries) most likely does not.

8 out of 42? I think you were generous. I too was ready to stop watching it after the first 30 minutes, but my GF was not. (/methinks that the “girl angle” is too esoteric for us geeks to tune into.) My GF was watching the first part with me, and was actively engaged in seeing the love-story aspect evolve. I was telling her: But look at this crap, is it gravity or magnetics! She said: will the two get back together?

When the first part ended, I told her: I will NOT watch the rest of it!, her reply: “Yeah it was bad.”

My score: 2/42

I’m seriously tempted to watch it now because of the review. After all, everyone looks out the window as they pass the flaming wreckage of some sort of collision. Now I have advance notice that I’m going to see one, LOL 8 out of 42.

I watched it. Don’t ask me why, maybe I hate myself. There was one light side though, I did laugh a lot at the horrible science and effects. Hmmm, ok. I will consider it a comedy and that’s how I will live with having watched it.

My god. Thank you for taking one for the team.

I read the synopsis on cable while flipping through channels and could only stomach about 10 mins before I moved on. They’re really scratching the bottom of the barrel in terms of disaster movies.

The previous record holder for lowest scores in a [i]Bureau 42[/i] review, if memory serves, was Species 2 with 9 out of 42. Perhaps Natasha Henstridge should get a better agent.
