I'd take issue with that in one respect - although the ideas are very
good (and often unusually dark for a series that was enjoyed
predominantly by kids, even if it wasn't intended for them) - there
are lots of inconsistencies and woolly plot ideas. And some slightly
cringeworthy dialogue.

Some of the basic premise ideas are a bit ill-conceived, as well. For
example - it doesn't really make sense to have the first line of
defence based on Earth's natural satellite, because there'll always
be a line of attack from which it's BEHIND Earth.
