"Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." -Matthew 24:30-31
having known the original story, it seems quite a pity that it could not be made into a longer series that is more loyal to the author's work. a story which should have spanned for generations have been shortened, and the difference shows. while it is a gorgeous piece in it's visual splendor of the aliens and their home world, and with Charles Dance wonderful performance, the change to the plot is too great and loses it's prowess. can still be seen as more than a loose adaptation to something that deserve a greater insight
