How the Light Gets Lost

I gave up on this show and decided I wanted to watch the worst episode of the season just so I could laugh at it. This one got the worst reviews of all of them, so I decided this would be it. Actually, I thought this was probably the pest show of anything I'd seen so far. A lot less painfully stupid scenes on earth. A lot less of people randomly spewing hate at each other for no reason. An actual general feeling of cooperation and good-will among the broken humanity on the crew.

There is an especially terrible scene that occasionally shows up in especially poorly written science fiction. The rave scene. One of the Matrix movies did it. ST: Discovery did it. . Welcome to this show's rave scene.

This episode really made me wonder about the show that could have been. What if taking the bones of what is here something different had been done.

An alien lands on earth and seems to be open to communication. A diverse crew of Earths finest, disciplined, intelligent, brave and honorable souls go off to try to find the creators. The crew goes further than humanity ever has and along the way encounters lots of risks. With intelligence, with bravery, with daring and skill they surpass them. Meanwhile back on Earth the finest minds from multiple disciplines come together slowly solving this mystery.

What flashbacks you have all equate to the golden age of space exploration.

I wish we'd gotten that show, science fictions fans would have loved it. Maybe Netflix will hire some of them to make a science fiction show, next time.

Noticed no trivia, quotes or even goofs...indicating the level of interest in this show. The star, Katee Sackhoff, lured us in from fond rememberances of Battlestar Galactica. That was the tease. Now? We watch this show as we would an icy road with traffic, to see what smashes into what. Maybe if this show generated a pool as to which character will die next, the viewership would explode? The most amazing thing about this episode, is that instead of the viewers being high, the characters were. Totally unbelievable is that there is a Season 2 planned. There are some real quality shows that were cancelled for a lot less.

Soooooo....let's just waste an episode on getting high and random mixed sex stuff. Episode does little to advance the story. It's as if all of the writers had overlapping writers block. Disappointing.

This show needs to pull itself together. Really bad ego exploration rather than story. Gave about 10mins of actually entertainment.
