Marks an unwelcome return of episodic sci-fi (fans of Stargate SG1 will feel right at home). Those who have outgrown that kind of cheese may enjoy the spacescapes and other eye candy, but will be left underwhelmed by the perfunctory, formulaic plot line that goes a bit like this: crew get in a tight spot, foreground character needing exposition this week techno-babbles a quirkily genius, last-ditch solution, crew proceed to navigate out of the tight spot with the help of a deus ex machina or two. The extreme danger represented never translates to any actual tension, as you know the leads will be left unharmed and fresh for the next "adventure".
