It’s interesting to read the reviews for another life. By and far, they are quite negative. I have another take. Once upon a time, a person watched approximately 21-24 episodes in a season, one episode a week, not 10 in one season. Am I the only person who hasn’t forgotten Star Trek: The New Generation’s first season? By and far, it was mostly derivative and awful. It also had enough interest in that it continued on to become a memorable and respected sci-fi series. Another Life has some obvious issues upon which the issues should rest with the writers, but to be fair, we don’t know the reason. For example a young crew might have something to do with Soma and its effect on the body. If a person is competent, then age shouldn’t matter although it might be like herding kittens in terms of life experience. It may have something to do with the faster than light drive. Creature feature: flora and fauna, not Earth and unknown, might well feature as part of consequences of living on a spaceship. Scary bug-like things scare me every time. The nervous system crawling out of a body was terrifying. The crew on Earth were unrealistic. In real life there would be a huge team with delineated duties. The husband was an astrophysicist, as posited from the storytelling. Yet he was not treated with a lot of respect by the hierarchy. Speculations worth waiting for answers: Why did so many of the creatures die on the one planet? Do the aliens of the Artifact have only world-dominating proclivities? Are they biological entities or something else? When the door is open, are the artifacts all connected at that same instance? Baby in space? I don’t know if people really expect our space program to fight these entities—-anticipating the answers.
