There’s hardly any actual “sci-fi” at all in this season, and that sucks, because I LOVED the first season, and had very high hopes for this one! I feel really let down with season 2 so far. They’re almost completely focusing on the interpersonal relationships of the crew and their extended families and such. I’ve been lately referring to it as, “The Love Boat in Space”. I’ve shut the last two episodes off early in, because I’m getting sick of the writers doing that. It’s such a cop out. It’s like they didn’t have any good sci-fi ideas coming into this season, so they fell back on common, drama-romance type writing with simply a sci-fi setting. I thought the idea of the doctor falling for the Tin Man was pretty damned ridiculous, if you ask me. Not to mention derivative of the Star Trek TNG episode where Data tries to be in a relationship with a female crew member (which is one of the most awkward TNG episodes ever). I was disappointed to find out in the next episode, they’re actually going to keep their relationship going on the show. Which to me is almost dumb enough to make want to stop watching all together already. If I wanted to watch a show about relationships, I’d be watching garbage like “This Is Us”, you know what I mean!?
