I used to like it. i saw it as full circle, all the nasty man-rule eliminated. Survivors back to withstand the test as A & E who failed, in the Garden of Eden.
Now it seems like one big fairy tale, myths and monsters and giants and dragons. Is there a bean stalk? Probably? Are there gollums and orcs? I bet you could find the equivalent. What about an ulcer in a golden bowl? Yep, got one of them. Man eating fish disgorging it's prey days later? Check. How about stopping the Sun for a bit, just so you could finish killing more people? Good idea. Pandora's box, that's as good an explanation of the world's woes as Genesis or the dragon in Revelation
They are just macabre fairy tales. Plenty of good morals, (amongst the bad). just don't take it so seriously.
