I certainly agree that just because there is some campy aspects to a show or story it can't also have serious qualities. My memories of the show was just that it was not a serious attempt at all right from the start, poor characters, poorly supported premise and LOTS of camp. There is a line to be drawn at some point I think, I mean even the campiest 50's SciFi horror movies have their points and even provide quality entertainment but at some point it becomes a matter of diminishing returns. My memory of LotL says that show falls over that line, but hey I've done some bad things to my memory so I'll keep an open mind should they decide to go with a more serious treatment.

However, was LotL so seriously done that it's somehow above being used as a bases for a comedy? That seems a little unfair.

BTW: I'm a big fan of the Engines of Light series, fun stuff, AND Serious story telling, and Mr MacLeod certainly did a good job with the 'blizzard people'
