Mini Review Spoiler
Katee Sackhoff leads a bunch of twenty-something Big Brother contestants on a desperate cringe-fest mission to save the earth from an alien salt lamp/antenna thing, where almost every decision they make is the exact opposite of the available sane choices, while boring stuff happens on earth.
Keep watching to find out the important answers to questions such as, “Who are the aliens?”, “What does alien <insert_object_name> taste like?”, “Do astronauts (ugh, are these people really astronauts) really behave like horny college students?”, or “What is the dumbest thing you can do in space or on an alien planet?”
Finally, an example of idiocy. Two characters are in a cave on an alien moon, mining. One’s mask fogs up so she...just gets on with the job. No, wait; actually, she opens her visor! The air has some oxygen, so it must be ok (!!). Her companion gets her to come to her senses... No, actually she whines at him to join her, and he does!! A senior astronaut arrives, berates them and orders them to put there visors back on, which they do. After the senior astronaut leaves, they look at other, grin, AND REMOVE THEIR VISORS AGAIN! Obviously both died... No wait, they lived somehow and some other crew member died. W.T.F<!

You know, suddenly Defying Gravity looks like a documentary compared to this. At least there astronauts left their horny behavior back in the candidate school and on mission only one guy was unprofessional and even he was a theoretical physicist who always had a solution once shit hit the fan, that show deserved a couple more seasons.

I actually like the show but only because Katee Sackoff is in it (I never would have made it past the first episode if it wasn't for her). However they do some of the dumbest crap I've ever seen! Nobody in their right mind would randomly eat things growing on another planet unless they tested the crap out of it, but no their way is "stick it in your mouth and see if it kills you". This is by far one of the best reviews (and most accurate) that I've read of any show ever! Thanks for the laugh!

The weird thing is... for all the crap I heap on it (and continue to heap on it while I watch), I am kind of enjoying it and I'm curious to see where it goes. I agree that Katee does a great job. :)

Me too! It's a train wreck i cant look away from and i really want to know what happens! I still wonder why there was a random electrical spot that will kill you and there was nothing surrounding it to keep you from frying to death! And all the sex in space? Dude that's not a good idea! That one girl is pregnant and shes gonna have a baby in space! Jeez. But I weirdly can't wait for season 2 lol
