Terrible writing, a wasted opportunity
I have just binge watched all episodes during jan, feb and march of 2015 and I have to admit to great disappointment.
This was a brilliant idea, a million year old spaceship, and there were many moments I enjoyed but there was too much faffing and fannying as though the writers had lost direction, or lost interest. There were entire interesting concepts left unexplored and boring avenues pursued until sheer tedium ensued.
A shame because considering the acting talent of Robert Carlyle and others, this was an expensive waste.
