I always liked movies and books where the protagonists had to work out how to survive with limited resources, so I don't find the lack of an antagonist troubling.  Right now their biggest enemies are the state of the ship and themselves (fighting for leadership, lack of skills, etc).I also thought when they were headed to the sun that it was going there for a reason.  Nothing else that was done by the ship so far seems to have been an accident (aside from the crew ending up there), and a star seems like a perfect energy source - assuming the energy can be gathered without burning up the crew, of course.  And I doubt the ship will just harvest sunlight by itself.  The crew will probably need to do something, like deploy solar panels or simply find a way to protect themselves from the radiation while the ship recharges.I haven't read much about the show outside of these threads on EN World, but I'm fully expecting the first season (or at least the first handful of episodes) to be them getting the ship back into a reasonably working condition, probably with help from the ship itself.  We saw them work out the air problem, now they need to find power.  I'm guessing next will be water (they mentioned water at the beginning of this episode), then food, possibly in the reverse order.  After that they will probably need defenses and weapons, since I'm guessing at one point they will find out what damaged the ship.  And, of course, they need to find a way to control the ship and turn it around to go home (or at least make it dial home), though this last part is probably going to take the duration of the show to figure out and it'll probably wait until they have the rest of the ship in a condition where they will be able to comfortably live there for a long period of time.</blockquote>
