This show has a lot of potential with some great actors in the mix;however it remains to be seen how these great actors will be able to take what will be given to them in the way of plot and writing material and make the show something better. As a long time sci-fi fan I hope this show improves, as the plot seems to be getting better by the third episode. The Special effects are good, the sets might be limited but still get the job done,costumes are spot on and well done. The actors who are of high caliber, seem to be under utilized, but this may change in the future episodes. I will look forward to seeing the next show if/when that happens.

Sorry to flame it but the dialog in episode 1 was terrible, the acting ( over-acting ) and directing were not that good either. The fight scene was extremely lame. CGI was OK but still B quality. The concept seems OK but the only documentary / reporting I saw was some occasional CGI video drones floating around. I think the whole set was under par and the lighting didn't help much. I want an hour of my life back

As a fan project, this would be top of the line. You can tell a lot of work went into the visuals, costuming, sets, and so on. The setting is interesting and the framing of a documentary adds a lot of flexibility to how they tell the story without shoehorning in exposition dumps.

As a project that stands on its own, there's definite room for improvement. The writing and characters are a cloying mix of cliché and parody, especially in the first episode. It gets better in the following two episodes once the first one gets a lot of the character introductions out of the way.

The shot composition and camera angles don't feel like they would on a more polished production, especially during action scenes -- it feels like most of the scenes involve cutting between two or three cameras plopped down somewhere. There's hardly any movement by the cameras, which could be a function of the cramped sets and other constraints.

The celebrities they bring in from other well-known Sci Fi/Fantasy shows are a bit underused so far, Walter Koenig criminally so. I get that the series is going for a bit of a Star Trek + The Office angle, which sets him up to be Scotty mixed with Creed Bratton, but really he just mumbles unintelligibly most of the time.

All that said, I still want to see what happens in episode 4 and on. I think this is a show with real potential.

There are so many things that don't work in this series: 1) the acting is no good 2) it's not funny 3) the story line barely makes sense 4) the campyness doesn't really fit with anything else 5) the washed-out camera work doesn't add anything 6) the Walter Koenig character is flat, disappointing, and basically irrelevant 7) there's no 'sci' in the sci-fi. There's also little to no drama in the fiction.

The exterior ships/combat/space stuff is solid. That was really the only redeeming thing.

This appears to be a pseudo-parody, but with original elements. Some of the acting appears to be sincere, while others seem to be chewing scenery. Not quite sure what to make of it ... and not quite sure where this has emerged from. Also, unlikely to have episodes beyond the 3 available via Amazon, or so I presume.
