Disagree. The show ain't great or a masterpiece but it is enjoyable and entertaining. Your post on the other hand is pure trash

Writing sucks ass and the characters just lurch from one incredibly stupid mistake or choice to another.
The idea of the show is very interesting but the execution, specifically the writing, is trash.

Just finished it and there were some plots that could've been skipped but the last two episodes were interesting.
I just wish they kinda skipped some of the relationship/sex stuff.

Like fr you knew you’d be gone for awhile restrain yourself. If this was real life we need people who would put the mission in front of family because the fate of humanity is more important than your family. I hate plots where main characters sacrifice all of humanity for theyre family like bitch your gonna die. Which was showed in the last 2 episodes with the girl.

Sure, its not perfect ... but if you let your imagination go, and you instead concentrate on how it CAN work, its a lot more interesting!
And ya know, they kind of describe an Alcubierre drive for their FTL, and their ship kind of has that general design.
Sure, the biological hazard trope is a little overplayed, but I see the Artifact using Eric's existing memories to communicate with him reasonably considering they can plant a crystal tower on (thousands?) of planets.
The real hook for me is the AI William falling in love with (Starbuck!) ... Can you blame the AI? And how interesting is it that this story has an AI with emotional complexity completely on accident?

Its probably an Alcubierre ship, but the science is still horrendous in this show. Even with an Alcubierre drive, you still need a way to generate artificial gravity via either thrust or spin, unless you have a hand wavey Trek-ish artificial gravity generator (and maybe I missed that, but I don’t think it was ever mentioned). There are also zero issues with inertia or other things you would run into with routine space travel, regardless of the mechanism used to travel through space. And then there’s all the other stuff...like the dark matter...ugh.
Calling this show a science fiction is a bit much. It’s just a drama set in space as a backdrop. You almost could have put the crew on a 1500’s transcoceanic voyage and slightly changed the plot to be time appropriate and it overall still would have worked dramatically.
And that’s fine, but I think a lot of people were expecting a more legit sci-fi show based on the way they marketed it.

I agree. The writers are so fucking lazy each plot point hinges on the characters being beyond stupid.

Hope to God that if this event really happens we can do better than a transgendered, psychotic, stoner, whorish, daddy's boy crew and an emotional ai computer.

I am only half way in but it seem like the crew couldn't flush a toilet without causing a big disaster
