4th episode was better but I'm ready to give up on the show. I was literally falling asleep towards the end. I love Trek, Stargate etc but I just can't get into this.

Liked the 4th ep, that's the direction they should pick - exploratory space missions. But they do need to pick the direction and stick with it though.

Is it worth watching?. Only seen the first. Scarred after watching inhumans.

I'm really enjoying this show. It's like Star Trek mixed in with Red Dwarfish comedy. Great to see Don Malarky driving the ship!

Edit: OT here, the real Malarkey passed away yesterday

same it is a nice light hearted show and quite funny occasionally, nothing special, nothing that I'd be super excited/impatient to see the next episode but certainly enjoyable/fun to watch

It's definitely growing on me, I find myself looking forward to watching it, which is always a good sign.

Thats what i was about to say. Quite good, a little cheesy but it works.

I think this might be a UK/US forum issue - in the US TV shows forum you can talk about watching stuff before it is released in the UK

It wouldn't surprise me if Sam Jones turned up in an episode the way these cameos are going

Charlize Theron just gets better with age. I wonder which demon she sold her soul to.

The practical joke Isaac plays ... and the payoff shortly after

They messed up the joke though. Malloy loses his leg beneath the knee, but the one that drops out of the ceiling in Lavesque's quarters is a full leg all the way to the top of the thigh.

The severed leg was too long, but it definitely wasn't below the knee.

Okay, at the knee, but the one that drops out of the ceiling is obviously far too long. It does look funnier when she slings it over her shoulder though.

The baby foot he hobbles in on too

The new episode is pretty dire. The jokes are flatter than a pancake. Not just unfunny, but drawn out, repetitive, and annoying. The only good part is the ending (ie no good choices), and the fact this episode finally finished.

I enjoyed ep5 but this one had me reaching for fast forward
