I thought so at first, but she (and the writers) proved me wrong. So very wrong.

Oh, you have no idea how wrong and fucked up things will get as the show progresses. Just...so much awesome.

- I love the knobs, corded phones, etc. Reminds of the look in ST: TOS, which I still prefer over the newer series in that apsect.
- wonderful visuals and audio, especially showing the raptors flying silently through the vacuum of space. As "neat" as hearing the "swoosh" of ships traveling in space is, it is completely unrealistic and not always necessary but of course it is better in the dogfights though.
- How does a robot have "faith"? Or is that just some BS to appear more human?

Heh. You'll see. I guess a robot has faith the same way you meat-bags do. :-)

I think it stays very well-grounded except arguably for the season finale, which I quite liked, despite what can only be called deus ex galactica.
Enjoy. Truly a great show.
