I touched on my review of episode 1 that the different races just do not feel right and this episode only continues that feeling.
One of the biggest issues I can see this show will have is the over acting and overly dramatising scenes in order to make the story work.
It is as if they wrote a general plot line and then could not figure out how to get it to work cohesively so instead decided to fill it with silly and unnecessary drama.
Also, yes, we the viewers are well aware these characters have bonded for over 7 years as mentioned only a few DOZEN times. But perhaps instead of having written this in a few dozen times they should have thought of ways to show it better in the script and interaction between the crew members. The emotional connection is just not there.
Hopefully they improve this on the future episodes.
