    Drama Drama Drama

    Title says it all!

    As someone who is really into space, my favs being Interstellar and The Martian, this is totally unrealistic from what you would expect from the crew. They are supposed to be experienced and work together on whatever mission they are given. Yet here everyone is in their mid 20's and wanting to pick an argument/fight with anyone for close to no reason. Some of the reactions of the crew and scientists on Earth are a bit exaggerated & over the top.

    Loads of space "crashes" and "bumps" that felt the same. Really hope they mix it up, already stated to get old, and this is just the first episode.

    Space and the settings looked good! No real complaints there yet.

    Looking forward to where this goes with the Aliens!

    Had hoped for more

    I love sci-fi. I'm most all it's forms...if done well. Even B rated ones can be fun.

    But millennial drama is not for me. It's this kind of recipe that killed stargate universe

    The alien akkai are so nebulous in manifestation that it makes the enemy gimmicky. Especially this arm chair psychiatrist approach. And then I'm a cheap way of making it not be a total soap opera...they throw out a bunch of F bombs to make the show seem tough and manly. But really it comes across stupid and I'll timed (if needed at all)

    Just seems like the dream episodes that a sci-fi show will do once or twice within 5 seasons. Except, for Thai show....every episode is turning out to be this. Thank heavens Foundation and Dune are out and so I have a real sci fi show to watch.

    Farcical

    Bunch of milenials at a rave in space. Don't bother lasted 15m.

    Confused why this gets low ratings...

    Sci-Fi fan of 50 years here, so I've seen a lot of it. It starts off just 'okay' but then steadily improves. Yes, some of the characters are annoying, but then drama formula writing always has a wide range of characters so that is only to be expected nowadays. With so much excellent stuff available on Netflix and other platforms, something has to be good in order to keep me watching. This one did, the first episode was interesting enough to make me come back for another episode. I'm pleased I did because, as I write this, I have two episodes left and can't wait to see them.

    Major plot hole issues

    I'm going to be completely fair as this was only episode one. I'm a massive fan of the genre and katee sackhoff brought this to my attention the minute it was announced. The first 10 minutes of the episode felt like a recap of previous episodes where we'd actually seen some story/character development prior to the ship leaving. In reality it was events that basically already happened and we are joining the story a quarter way through. I didn't like that. I'm half way through this series and will say it does get better but I wouldn't hold hopes for season 2. The pilot is pivotal to continued viewership and it seems most people thought the same. It's a shame

    • Trivia
      The title is a reference to an interstellar radio message in which NASA transmitted the song "Across the Universe" by The Beatles in the direction of the star Polaris, located 431 light years from Earth, on February 4, 2008.
    • Goofs
      The technique used by Salvare to slingshot around the star makes no sense. The purpose of the sling shot maneuver is to increase the speed of your ship above your current speed using the gravity of another object. There's little point in reducing your speed to sub-light (William dropped them to sub-light before awakening Niko) so that you can sling shot to back to the +light speed you were traveling at in the first place. Not to mention the fact that the sling shot maneuver is not accomplished by getting as close to a star as you can, nor are multiple orbits around the star beneficial. While this error might be forgivable there nothing gained by using an incorrect procedure when the correct one could have them arrive at the same plot point.

      Ian Yerxa: You know, Niko... were the situation reversed, I'm not sure I'd be quite as magnanimous with you.

      Niko Breckinridge: No?

      Ian Yerxa: No.
