Episode one
Could've done without the 'Bobby in the shower' intro
Otherwise good.

Episode 2

I think they've raised the bar.

I've actually ducked out of episode three after 7 or 8 mins just to ask this.

Can't work out if they've done anything different but I'm finding the music really intrusive on this episode.
Just me?

Snaps

can't say iv noticed it myself

Episode 4
Certainly right up to speed with plot line paralleling recent trends and events.

I am mourning the back pedalling on humour to be a bit more Treky.

...and I still think they need to ditch the Spinal Tap amplifier.

im much preferring the more serious sci-fi this episode shows it obviously has a long term story arc

Holy s*** episode 5, all 1 hour 14 minutes of it was simply spectacular, the long term storylines are brilliant I mean so grown up, great performances all round, Topa was magnificent the commander showing her bad ass self, Isaac and Claire being well Isaac and Claire really have surprisingly good chemistry and Bortus and Klyden totally nailed it, a tear or 2 definitely and of course having one of Celtics anthems feature so prominently didn't do any harm, best sci-fi currently for me and I can't wait to see where it heads next.

so haven't kept my reviews uptodate so here goes

Episode 6, you know you have nailed it with a Star Trek type series when you do a time travel episode and knock it out the park and give it a small twist, this was my favourite of the series so far, but more on that

Episode 7, the back story was just sublime and really gave an insite to the Kaylon race and Isaac the character was again really thoughtfully done and gave a heads up to where AI will take us going forward, this was my favourite episode so far

Episode 8, I love the Seth who's baby this show is doesn't mind (and seemingly actively encourages) the characters to completely shine, since this show has increased the episode length (this one is and hour and a half!) it has given the show and characters a new lease of life and time to breath, this episode was a fantastic family study with perhaps the best guest star ever, but was very dark in places which it needed to be and perhaps started a new long term story line? This was almost my favourite episode

I know what they're trying to do but...Clunk.

Otherwise excellent, all the episodes
