Great. Another Batman show without Batman.

By episode 3 like 75% of the characters are proven, admitted, or suspected of being frauds anyway so all I can think is that this extreme stupidity among crew which should know better was intentional?

I'm not kidding BTW, seems more than half the crew stole an identity or scammed their way on the ship!

That was overtaken by them saying they were going to take the human waste, extract all the useful minerals and salts from it and then throw away the useless urea. I felt like somebody on the writing team must know science enough to troll the viewers with bait like that.

I’ve given up watching it, but I did wonder if they were going to reveal something similar to the Hitchhikers plot line where the most useless to society where all bundled up on a colony ship and sent off world.

I read a review saying it finds it stride in episode 4, but I don't think I can watch episode 3. It has nothing to interest me like the 100 did, no veteran actors mixed with coming of age stories, just slop.

> Too busy arguing about fucking Snoopy.

Tony Hale’s delivery kills me every time

They also "discovered a new element of the pediodic table". Lol, new elements would be super unstable and have a very short half life. Not to mention, such an element wouldn't be just laying around on a comet.

It gets worse.

It is accidentally hilarious because legit every single character is super hateable. I fucking hate, every single one of them.

Wait CW still has shows?

That's how I feel about it. I'm not expecting Citizen Kane here. It's my weekly lowgrade hit of Sci-Fi. Its also not some part of a tent pole franchise where I need to watch a dozen other spin off series; I can just take it for what it is.

I turned it off as soon as the kid showed his piles of soil and the LT was clueless as to why super soil would be helpful on a ship of people soon to be starving to death. She said why are you showing me this and I turned it the eff off. I just cannot. ......I might go back 🤣

It's too bad many new sci fi space shows are terrible. The Expanse was one of just few great ones. Ascension was also pretty nice if we ignore the personal drama but in the end it's actually >!not a space opera and cancelled on that cliffhanger too!<

Its not even in La Brea's ballpark. Its worse.

Ok

Would you say it is in the same cheap vein as La Brea?

It's what people were afraid Stargate Universe was going to be.

The more I watch, the more I think that's a valid assessment. It's a "bad 90s scifi action drama" made with "Nickelodeon tween drama" production values.

I imagine they got slimed or a temple guard jumps out and hugged them.

All this talk about it got me excited enough to start watching tonight's episode.

Oh man. The "bad thing that happens" is fucking hilarious. It's like a Nickelodeon kids show skit.

Oh I was wondering if it was a clone or a regular evil twin.

Everyone on this ship got in there either by fraud or nepotism. Of course all the important people think it's important to be in the important people room.

This show almost stumbles into being an amazing social commentary on corruption in governments and corporations.

Biggest surprise is that the sex therapist influencer is actually doing the job she got dragooned into and is actually good at it, and she hilariously set up her sessions to look like she's going to sex them better even if they're just going to talk. It's not even the bed, it's everything else she's doing. And then it's just a counseling session.

I only smoke pot at night, when I'm watching a show like this, and getting ready to crash.

I'm pretty certain that's the only thing giving me the ability to "enjoy" it.

I especially love how the "engineers" in "engineering" are all in greasy clothes and looking like they just stepped out of a submarine movie.

Even the basic premise of a complete lack of crew redundancy, and putting all the important ones in the same area? Unbelievable as a basic concept.

But I could not stop laughing at the new twist they just threw in last week, that she's a clone. And her clone is murderous. Good god. The writers are high as fuck. I swear they're trolling us.

The Penguin will be an exception because they have movie Batman appearing

It would have served them better to not include any attempts at seeming like they're using any science at all and just technobabbled everything.

I had decided they have the magic artificial gravity but that the Steve Jobs type forced them to have spinning parts and domes and fake spin gravity. Because skeumorphism. A Steve Jobs type would totally add those.

I lasted until last week's hallucinations episode. Maybe I'll try again later.
