I had read that this might be a darker take on the original, and had hoped that might also mean that it would get an overhaul in character development, but sadly, that is not the case. In what is supposed to be a group of the sharpest/brightest people, who have been selected to migrate to a nearby star system, what we get in each episode is a continuous flood of (supposed) "really smart people", doing "amazingly stupid things". Of course, many of these "mistakes" allow the characters to then be put into some perilous scenario, to fulfill the story-telling need of each episode, but all at the cost of any semblance of believable behavior. If this plot methodology only happened once or twice, you might be able to "write it off" as just one or two bad episodes, but when it becomes the basic theme of the whole series, it's just a bit too much to stomach.

To be clear, I like some of the actors/characters, and think that some of the effects look very good, but what starts as a pretty solid template for the series is ruined by poorly scripted plotting.

Maybe this reboot will be exciting for 10 year old children, or anyone who doesn't really care whether the characters depict any sort of logical thought process, but if that approach to plotting annoys you, then you should move on to some other viewing choice.
