Plot
Astronaut Niko Breckenridge (Katee Sackhoff) leads a crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. She and her crew face unimaginable danger on what may be a one-way mission.
Verdict
The most fun I've had with this series is trying to guess all of the references. This takes tropes and ideas from other sci-fi properties liberally. That's not bad by itself, but that's all that's going on in the show. The science is dubious, the characters are flat, and there just isn't a unique draw. I watched the entire series, but that's because I'll watch even bad sci-fi.
Skip it.
Review
Aliens land on Earth, and a crew is formed to explore the origins of these mysterious beings. The crew is a bunch of socially inept astronauts. They don't get along. It's manufactured drama so something happens in the show and even if it isn't realistic, I'd think the characters would care more about the mission than hooking up. There's just a lot of stupid in this show. The plot resorts to romantic relationships instead of actually development.

Surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any Battlestar Galactica. That's what I think of when I see Katee Sackhoff. It's terrible comparison for this show because Galactica had great character development and a plot.
While the crew runs into a disaster seemingly every episode, there are scientist back on Earth studying the object too. That plot line seems like filler until the last couple of episodes.
This series is a conglomeration of sci-fi movies I've seen before and would rather watch instead.
