I had strong love for the brilliance of the first 2 episodes as directed by Ridley Scott, and the absolute batshit craziness of the ones directed by his son, Luke. It was pretty clear they ran out of SFX budget for S1 during that scene though…
Batshit is about right. That show was so off the rails in such a fun way. Really scratched the bizarre sci-fi itch. To the point that I didn't mind the poorly done visuals. It was a lot like Lexx or Red Dwarf in that regard.
Loved the show, hated the flashbacks, I felt it detracted from the whole point of the show. >!I could excuse the flashbacks on the ship, that story was interesting too.!< Then the flashbacks kept coming and coming. I think they spent basically a whole episode in a flashback and that really frustrated me.
