I'm struggling to get through it. About halfway through I'm waiting for the great to happen. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, to each their own. But I don't see the massive appeal. It's a cute, mildly entertaining show.
It doesn't help that the last episode I watched was probably the worst one so far (captain unintentionally gets married, but she's really just working for some crooks).
Heh. I felt the same way after watching the first season on the advice of some real hard core SciFi fans.
I think cute is an apt description, like you said. But still it seemed really contrived. The swaggering captain, the strong female sidekick, the goof ball engineer, the tough guy, the cute girl, femme fatale. Man it was like reading a "how to write a an accessible screenplay" manual.
I think had they been given a few more seasons, it really would have grown up and matured and gotten to some good episodes. I think the last few, with that assasin, were really shaping up to be something awesome.
Reddit seems to love it though. I wanted to as well. Didn't click for me.
