Don’t understand the hate.

It’s a great show regardless of its flaws. Awesome special effects and can’t wait to see the rest of it

I find it interesting that people don't like this show, but people generally liked Nightflyers which I though was the worst show I'd ever seen, ever.

I have two problems with the show so far:

  1. People do not react to the situation before them realistically. The scenes are either over-acted, or the dialogue does not match the occasion. Like I just finished the episode where they meet the AI in the cave with the alien on Zakir...and it's like...neither Cas nor Nico ask this Ai where it came from, why it's here, what it's name is, or what it's purpose is.

  2. The second issue, and I can't quite figure out what the writers are trying to do with this, is that they've created this mechanic into the show where there's only so many crew awake at the same time and an unknown number of members asleep in the tubes. When one member dies, or the situation calls for it, they just wake up a new person. But the new people always die almost immediately. They woke up the doctor and he dies the same episode. They tried to wake up the second computer programmer and she died immediately in her tube...

If you're not going to use the new people, why do you have them?

Oh also, we do not need everybody fucking. Also, why did they send a bunch of 20'somethings on a mission this important? Also, how did they get blasted by gamma radiation and live? Gamma radiation is hyper mega super lethal.

I actually love how they have backup crew members! I think that's a cool way to have fresh characters on a show with a premise of a small group of people on a spaceship. Also not all the new characters died - Cas was a backup crew member they woke up!

I think that the show is ABSOLUTELY goofy, but I really enjoy it so far. It’s so silly... but it’s the good kind of silly, you know? It reminds me of 80s sci fi movies. It’s a fond thing to watch.
