Smart writing! Great casting! Original take on Freaky Things! Yep! ALL of this is Special Unit 2. Too bad X_files fans and gamers see a resemblance to the shows they covet. I liked X Files and I like video games too, but c'mon folks! I don't compare every drama or comedy to the works of Shakespeare! Special Unit 2 was FRESH, INVITING, COMIC, DARING and, hell, yes! DAMN GREAT! It is a variation of themes that we all love and to COMPARE it to others is not doing it justice.
It sits just fine in my top list of Sci-Fi shows and I really can't care about why it was canceled. Maybe because it was a clone of something or whatever. In my book, the network made a bad decision because of whatever statistical reasons or legal reasons, or even perhaps, God forbid, a stupid network executive decision. Let's admit it folks!!!!!! Network executives are not Gods and do make mistakes when it comes to MONEY and ART. The crap on TV proves it! Special Unit 2 was a great show that got canned because the executives at UPN decided that. When was the last time UPN called you asking what shows you wanted to see. I bet it is NEVER.
While the UPN folks were talking to their lawyers and reading ratings the public got left out. It is the way it is.
MAYBE... some SMART and brilliant writer will revive the show, buck the X-File yahoos an the "comparison" people and go a-new, but, that is not the way the industry seems to work! Just my 2-cents worth.
