No there weren't. You personally may have liked some story lines less,
but almost universally among fans, the Leviathan storyline was the
worst, with the Adam storyline running a close second. They almost lost
me as a viewer over the Leviathans.
I agree the 1970 storyline was a rehash of Quentin in hope of
revitalizing the series, but it was still better than the Leviathan
scenario
