1. I didn’t realize it until I started trying to explain the premise to my kids. Then I kept referring to the movie Arrival. And then I realized… Oh yeah, this is pretty much like Arrival.
2. And while I’m fine abandoning “reality” when I’m just trying to enjoy a science-fiction movie, I couldn’t help but get hung up on the issue of , “what happened to the fact that it was supposed to take them up bunch of extra months to get to the final planet? “. When they had the big family crew dinner with the salad, they said oh yeah, it’s gonna take still plenty of months to get through the nebula. I think the next episode, they’re showing up at the final planet.
3. Being able to enjoy Niko’s tight body was a plus, although no one will put this in print and acknowledge that, cause It would be too sexist. All the issues that have already been mentioned makes this show kind of hoakey.
