Well it would have worked a whole helluva lot better if they had
figured this all out BEFORE they started the series. (like some other
people we could name)

It's like building a house and a week before you move in, you decide
to build a 2-story addition off the back.

the Pegasus story should have been interwoven with all the other plot
lines (and some of the other tedious ones not even brought in).

I realy enjoyed the first two seasons. Season 3 was hard to watch for
many reasons (the endless depressingness of it all was one of them),
and I haven't been enticed to watch any of the reruns of season 3 that
have been airing. I'll probably get the DVDs, and I'll probably watch
season 4, but it's off my top priority list at this point.
