[QUOTE="Orius, post: 7274199, member: 8863"] Yeah, the critics hate it, but the audience seems to like it. Sure, there's a lot that's silly and lowbrow, but it's done a pretty good job of following in Trek's footsteps. I enjoyed it from the start, it's just a fun show to watch. Honestly, it's been too long since there's been any decent space opera like this on TV, people say there's too much dark Sci-Fi and the audience is enjoying this as something fresh. To me a lot of what's on broadcast TV seems to be lots of superhero stuff, and while that's not bad, this show's a great change of pace. Sure, there's a lot of puerile humor, but they've done pretty well with social commentary stuff; the Social Media World episode was the sort of thing you'd see back in the TOS days or the classic Twilight Zone. This week's episode wasn't too bad either, though I found the plot twists to be pretty predictable. It still delivered well. [sblock]I had a feeling that Lowe's character was kind of manipulating Kelly somehow, and it was pretty funny when Ed started getting affected too. Interesting twist on it too that it wasn't malicious either, more of an oblivious but self-centered "I don't see what the big deal is, my culture is just totally into free love". I figured they'd solve the weekly conflict with a love fest thing too once everyone figured out what was going on. And it should be interesting to see how this affects Ed and Kelly's relationship when it was revealed that she was likely under the same influence a year ago.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
