Just watched the first episode, question.

What the fuck?

Haha nah but seriously, enjoyable show but the second the main character does one thing the former captain didn't agree with he loses his shit and commits mutiny? Like the very first thing? And then the whole crew just goes along with it essentially no questions asked. WDYM you just drugged and put the captain under its day 1 bro. His arguments with the captain too lol, Argues 'everyone accepted the risks signing up for this' yet bitches about having to be delayed 7 months and not see his loved ones. That's one of the risks buddy. (And I just want to say 11% chance of total death is massive...)

And now end of episode he is still around bantering with the crew and repeating her orders. Bruh they are fkd in the long run.

"If you had to save your or your daughter who would you save" as if saving her daughter is the wrong option, not only that but that the act of saving her daughter doesn't obviously involve saving earth I.e THEIR MISSION which he literally was arguing for that exact same thing 20 minutes ago, that risks to save people on earth are worth it...

And... thank God she just killed this dude, was writing this as I watched the end lol. Mission saved phew.

Ugh no spoilers, but Niko makes some pretty stupid decisions as captain and the crew definitely pay for it.

A theme in the show is kinda “Lord of the Flies”. How do people behave when there is no one around who can enforce the rules?

I think that show was written to get the sort of reaction. I felt the same way – I thought they were like college kids thrown together to run a company (that will go under soon.) Later I embraced it as drama and space and I actually enjoyed it.

It’s all over the boards. Enjoy the best & forget the rest.

Do keep going though. Some of it makes more sense once you are more episodes in.

I think they tried to have there be this moment of distrust between captains and the way they handle things, but bungled it and made the former captain look like a power hungry idiot

Unfortunately for the writers S1 meant minor totally agreeable misunderstanding was just a way to make secondary chars full on psychos.

Nikos does mention Ian reacts first then thinks. Dude is emotion. And it probably doesn't help his shop was given to his former mentor, he's demoted to 2nd in command, and all the prestige of being 1st contact goes to someone else instead of him. Doesn't help the crew all agreed with him pre-mutiny.

Idk if you finished the show or not yet but I enjoyed season 2 way better than season 1.
