Suspenseful, but bad spaceship Before episode 7, I had few complaints. Like, they spend too much time in personal details that sometimes don't matter. And people seems to have no fear of alien life form, sometimes touching them with bare hands.
The creature plot reminds me of the movies "Alien", and "The Thing". This is the main plot of the series, and of course there are many sub-plots.
But in the middle of episode 7, there is a very bad subplot which made me wonder if I want to continue watching this. The group discovered a leak in the ship in a specific compartment. Common sense says seal off the compartment and that would be the end of it. Oddly, there is no way to seal off a compartment and they have to go seal the leak manually, with sealant. Who build a space ship like this? Anyway, later on when they failed to seal the leak, the ship's computer decided to jettison the leaking compartment to stop the leak. Say what?? If the compartment cannot be sealed off, how is jettisoning the compartment going to stop the leak? Wouldn't it create a bigger leak? And if the compartment can be jettisoned, then obviously it can be sealed off. And if it can be sealed off, why bother with jettisoning the compartment?
Not only that, the jettisoning procedure cannot be overridden. Who designed a system like that? And not only that, the computer locks the doors without regard to whether there are people trapped inside or not. Sure this adds drama but it makes the series feel fake.
The writers are just too lazy to come up with a coherent story and think the audience can accept anything. I can accept there are space monster, but cannot accept a space ship is designed so illogically.
