Through the Valley of Shadows

The first show I reviewed and slated it, but I must confess it's growing on me. Despite the actors being totally annoying and over made up there is the bones for a good sci fi series. What won't grow on me is the unprofessionalism of a team of astronauts sent to save the world, put a uniform on and say yes sir.

Niko comes through, once again, to save her crew. Even though some of them don't deserve it. She is most likely the only professional on board. Meanwhile back on Earth: basically nothing.

As none of my friends were foolish enough to watch this past episode one, I feel the need to review to properly share the contempt and horror I feel for this production.

This second episode improves nothing over the first.

Again, the crew are completely unlikable and shockingly insubordinate. Again, every single person manages to disobey the most minor orders attempting to keep them alive without a single valid reason to do so. There remain massive science errors any technical adviser should have caught.

At this point, the best hope for all of humanity is probably for William to vent the atmosphere and handle the mission himself.

Others have questioned the validity of the science, and rightly so. I have just one question or maybe two. Is there traveling faster than light how were they able to communicate? Some unknown subspace channel like Stargate? And traveling faster than light as far as they are going how old will her daughter be when she gets back? The same age as her mom?

What a waste of wonderful technical effects and space age sets. The crew are just a bunch of squabbling kids ,where expressing their feelings matters more than fixing the oxygen leak. They all deserve to die and if they behaved like that in a real situation they would.

There are dozens of talented people out there with good storytelling skills so why waste all the money on this bunch of clowns?
