maybe theyre saving it up for later? it kinda seems silly to leave it for later tho. surely the first thing youd do on being in that situation is to consolidate, and find out what youve got and what you dont

If you had a properly selected and trained crew, yes.

But theyve chosen a Voyager (ST) scenario, and added the extra twist of being crewed by a bunch of grunts, VIPs, brains and misfits.
Misfits for random crap,
brains to keep the sci-fi interesting
grunts to fight aliens
VIPs to cause problems and add emotional stress

and Ive only seen the 1st Episode - So Tell me Im wrong?  or are they painting sci-fi by numbers with big wax crayons?  

So far theres been quite a lack in the alien fighting side of things. Only things being the bugs. The didnt stop some of the grunts from making flamethrowers in a bid to be all aggressive.

I think one of the issues is that its trying to be a bit like 24, in the short time frame aspect, but doesnt make this as obvious as need be. It certainly doesnt seem like they have only been on the ship for the 48-72 hours or so that I think they have been? Theyve ony referenced a couple of times how some of the crew have pretty much been going since they arrived etc.

Maybe the series would be better watched in one go (if you could stomach it) so that the timeframe is more noticeable? I get the impression that the formula will be that the first season is them aestablishing themselves on the destiny, and if it picks up for a 2nd season maybe a bit more exploration etc.

I admit I found it a bit odd on the pilot episode, at the start the main character actor dude did come across as pretty much begging the viewer to watch the whole series. It really did strike me as odd, thinking "Does he think its bad but redeems it near the end or something?"

He pretty much said something along the lines of "Please please please watch it through to the end, you wont be disappointed" or something like that in the crazy mad scientist persona :/

This weeks (Ep. 8 ) was actually pretty good.

Most of the main cast die not just once, but twice!

"Leeets dooo the tiiiime warrrrp aaaagaaaiiin..."

This weeks episode was much better.

SG is always good when theyre in a familiar forest setting.

Good point, didnt think about that.

I thought it was sh*t. Im really losing faith in this, and if it doesnt pick up soon im gonna pack it in

Well I was wondering about the girl who got completely wrecked in someone elses body. Imagine if you got killed, severely injured etc.

Seems a bit dodgy to just let them run around with someone elses body unaccompanied.

The thing that most worries me it, I cannot think of a single one of their character names. After a good few episodes that is pretty bad.

I thought they mentioned in an ep that if one of them dies they both do?
