Cliché SciFi Horror, with no common sense.
10 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
They've just thrown a whole load of overused SciFi Horror cliché story lines at this, and hoped for the best.

Beyond the recycled material that they're relying on to give this show legs, a basic grasp of simple common sense really trips them up.

A solo 12 month mission in space? - Exploration missions would never have a mission with such a lack of redundancy.

Grasp a lamp head to feel the heat, and make sure you aren't dreaming? - Only works if the spaceship designers didn't think to use safer, cheaper, more compact, more efficient LEDs, and instead opted for "retro" bulbs.

Video files "deleted by accident", yet are completely unrecoverable? - Again, redundancy... plus the fact recovering deleted data is perfectly possible today, nevermind in the future.

Potential biological contamination of the population, the exact reason why Quarantine exists? - Na, the Doc likes drinking with her, let it slide.

Hiroyuki Sanada having a future in acting beyond being typecast as the enigmatic leader of an advanced group, whose agenda is obscure but likely dastardly, and whose interior decorators strongly favour bright walls? - Looking doubtful.
