My reaction
Synopsis: fun-loving, cave-dwelling creatures don’t understand their neighboring species
How I saw it: on video a couple times (have on DVD), most recently over the past few weeks
Concept: Great.
Story: Good.
Characters: Great.
Dialog: Good.
Pacing: Great.
Cinematography: Bad.  But improving a little.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Good.
Music: Great.
Subjective Rating: 10/10 (Favorite of my favorites). The writing is back up to near where it was for the first season. Some episodes are a little weak, but none of them are bad. The relationships between species are developing; I'm pretty excited to see where it goes in the last two seasons (which we have but haven't watched yet).
Objective Rating: 8/10 (Good) 3.3/4 3.4/4 (Very good).
