Frustrating. Each character takes every opportunity to chew scenery, to say the corniest possible line whenever possible. The characters and the world lack any sense of internal consistency. The people arrived 2 millennia ago, or even further back, who knows. The captain who promises “all of us go or none of us go” also murders someone who gets in her way and feels no remorse. The characters behaviors bend to fit the needs of each particular scene, swinging wildly depending on whatever drama the author wanted to present next. Decidedly not for me.
