  Season 5 : Stop the whining and understand the story. And Timeline.
  
  The storyline for season five was set way back in season 2. When we discover that the Jaridian and taelons were once 1 race, the Atavus.
  The Atavus themselves had a civil war as is discovered in Season 5 episode Bad Genes. If you listen carefully you discover that millions of years ago, just prior to the Atavus coming to earth, Howlyn rebelled against his father, the ruler of their race and took those loyal to him, his wife and child to a new world, Earth, to set himself up as ruler.
  Like the Taelons and the Jaridians after them, they soon discovered that something about the earth was not allowing them to survive properly so they resorted to feeding on the life forces of Mamals (humans) .
  After a few centuries the Atavus were forced into Stasis, and their Ship forced to land with its inhabitants forced into stasis by meteor showers and Earths collision with an asteroid. Which created an Ice Age (too cold for the Atavus).
  
  Meanwhile back on the Atavus Homeworld, the Kimera Arrive and start messing with the Genetic make up of the Atavus. The Atavus rebel and almost force the Kimera into extinction. However the damage was done. The surviving Atavus flee their world and set up colonies. And then the Split occurs. Some Atavus become Taelons, shrugging of their emotional ties and with the aid of Kimera genetic manipulations become an entity composed of primarily energy. The other Atavus become Jaridians, Holding onto the passion for life and their Carbon based existence. The Jaridians like most carbon based life forms are born grow old and die. and have substantially shorter lives as apposed to their Cousins the Taelons who live for Centuries. The 2 species took seperate evolutionary paths. Making them totally incompatible.
  
  Thanks to the Kimera the Energy cleaves that the Atuvus once had were replaced by the Shakarava, A inheritance gained from the genetic manipulations done by the Kimera. Whilst the Jaridians retained the ability to use Shakarava, the taelons in the quest for Spiritual perfection lost the use of the Shakarava which was primarily used by emotions and passion. Since the Taelons had no emotion or passion they could no longer use Shakarava.
  
  With the Exception of those in stasis chambers on earth. There are now no wholey pure Atavus left in the universe. The Earth based Atuvus remain in stasis for millions of years. Until the end of season four which saw the merging of the Taelons and Jaridians. However this Merging failed and the energy reconstituted the Atavus. The Atavus then discover what has happened and try once again to rule earth.
  
  Why 3 different Atavus ?
  The first Atavus seen in Season 2 was a purely Taelon Atavus. No Jaridian DNA at all. The Atavus in season 4 was a combinationi of Taelon and Jaridian, Since they were genitically linked to the Kimera they had Shakarava and looked different. The Season 4 Atavus is what happened to the Original Atavus (Season 5 Atavus) after the Kimera Genetic manipulation and that was what the Atavus looked like just before the Taelon and Jaridian split.
  The Season 5 Atavus are the Original Atavus. This is what they looked like before the comming of the Kimera. since there was no genetic manipulation by the Kimera these original Atavus do not posess shakarava. Instead they have energy Cleaves on their fingers. Which essentially was a defensive tool much like the claws of a Cat. However Howlyn and his followers used it offensively to feed of sentient life force. They did not need to do this on their home world.
  
  If you look closely at the Atavus you can see they share a similar bone structure to both Taelon and Jaridian.
  It is also learned that due to the obsession Howlyn had with the visit of Renee Palmer to the pre-historic past which he rulled. He spent the years before going into stasis genetically modifying Humans in an effort to quickly bring about Renee Palmer. (isn't this exactly what the Kimera did to his species ..?) funny how irony works.
  
  Anyway the story is there if you look hard enough for the links. and it is a flow on story. There is only so much information that can fit into a 45min episode. if every episode was 2 - 3 hours long then maybe more of the story would have been explained. but enough of the story is there for anyone with a good mind can fill in the obvious missing pieces.
  
  So do not beat down Season 5 it has it merits and leaves open at the end for an entire new series. (the search for the original Atavus home world...?) Following Clues left behind by ancient Jaridian and Taelons? So many possibilities to continue the story. Maybe see a resurgence of Taelons and Jaridians? who know.. Anyway Enjoy it it is a good end to a great series. And ignore the negativity of a few feeble minded people without much imagination and forsight to read a little deeper into the overall picture.
  
  I hope my explanation above brings forth some enlightenment.

  Seasons 1 & 2
  
  Really don't know how to rate this item. I purchased Seasons 3,4,&5 a couple of years ago, but haven't even watched them yet, because I was waiting for Seasons 1&2 to come out. Does anyone know if they are out or if they are coming out? It kind of stinks if not. I'd rather watch it from the beginning, or I wasted money buying 3,4,&5.

  Renee The Atavus Slayer
  
  This is what the show should have been re-named, "Renee The Atavus Slayer", because all the story lines are basically the same thing: Renee trying to hunt down and kill these vampire-like aliens (similar to Buffy The Vampire Slayer). So many things about this season didn't even make sense I don't know where to begin, but one which I thought was pretty obvious is: how does the Taelon mothership manage to stay in orbit for a whole year if it had no core energy left and it got nuked? At the end of Season 4 we are told the ship is in a decaying orbit, which means it should be crashing into the atmosphere sometime soon.

  Earth final conflict was one of my favourite shows on TV, and even I must admit that something went terrible wrong in the way, a clear example of that is the last season: the acting is extremely poor, you can't even buy the Taelon act because is too cheesy, the Atavus are a terrible replacement for the Taelons and even the main characters look tired and acting just because they get paid for that.
  I definitely don't recommend this set box if you are a hard core fan, the fourth season was a lot better and still has that spark that made the show interesting on early seasons.
