Across the Universe

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

As a big fan of 2004's Battlestar Galactica, it is great to see Katee Sackhoff back in space and looking every bit Starbuckian in fit and very fine form. Not a lot of details are given out in the pilot, but I think you get a good idea of the show's promise.

For some unknown reason an alien ship landed on earth and becomes some kind of space antenna. They can't figure out what, but they can figure out where so the powers that be decide to send Sackhoff and her oddball crew to investigate. Expect lots of fairly decent drama built into. Not to spoil any details but things happen along the way not according to plan and then other more dire things happen. The details of space travel are all very nicely rendered here. Again no spoilers. But I do love the ship design and sense of wonderment and mystery that failed so badly in the remake of Lost in Space or the horrible "Star Trek Discovery" disaster.

Over all very good and interesting opening with decent supporting cast in first positions in expected roles, all are new to me. This show does feature a cross-dressing Asian man do if that's a thing. Stop right here. To me, however Hoon Lee's "Job" character in the very excellent Banshee made that show the treasure that it was so maybe it can be duplicated here. We'll see. I expect great things!

Couldn't continue watching after the first episode. It just wasn't thought through. Just too many questions. An important mission with this team with such unlikeable characters? How? Why? Did who ever send them form a team so incompetent? Did they matched their skills and personalities? Did the team know eachother beforehand? Did they train together before send into oblivion for an important space mission? Truly, I'm amazed at how stupid this is. Nope, not for me.

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.

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!
