...why didn't they save the Zekir woman and take her along? As much as I wanted to enjoy and recommend this series, and I did enjoy parts of it, there is a lot of derivative stuff here. Michelle in an earlier episode saving the ship ala Spock in Wrath of Khan but then dissolving into a puddle of bloody goo - her demise was original but nasty. At least the show rid itself of annoying characters as it progressed. Just wish they were smart enough to detect Sasha's alien brain bug sooner and off him earlier. The cast chemistry is starting to gel somewhat, but S2 will need significantly better writing to save this. Katee Sackhoff is watchable as always, but please, please, PLEASE give her more to work with if this renews for S2. I'm rating this a 6/10 or a D+/C- ...appropriate in my view as it seems as if it were written as a college fiction assignment....creative in some ways, derivative in others per above, but highly pretentious.
