The Ark (TV Series) Two by Two (2023) User Reviews

An interesting flowing episode

[jseph1234-262-617488 · 8/10 · 30 March 2023]

I just watched episode 6 of The Ark with the crew facing several different crisis situations the main one being that The Ark is running low on fuel.

One thing I did notice in this episode is how much better the lighting and the crews uniforms look. I really appreciate that aesthitic touch to the show.

I find that I look forward to the journey and the different ways that the crew has to overcome obstacles and different problems.

I want to give this review without any spoilers so I am being very circumspect. Its interesting the writers are doing a little less of forcing the plot and interaction and that they are making a an effort to allow crew interactions to occur naturally. I am looking forward to the next episode.

One of the worst episodes I've ever watched

The ship has only engines - no FTL drive engaged, and to reach its destination is supposed to take take decades. Alpha Centauri is only 4 light years away, right? But the stars are sliding in the viewer outside the ship - that implies its speed is much higher (faster the light).

There is not other binary star system between us and Alpha Centauri, but the ship is able to slingshot around to to reach to a planet in just a few hours or days. That's insane. With such kind of speed, why haven't they went to their intended destination (instead of detour)?

They should have some computers on the ship, something to help the make the best slingshot (the margin of error were small, right? Just a few degrees). But no! They had to use the pilot, and such acceleration they were flying around the ship...
