Quote:There are ways to add depth to a series other than just making it more depressing.
But your comments so far seem to indicate that the series would be way better if every episode were completely lighthearted and fun. I just think that's ridiculous, the story is good because it shows how space and space travel can be amazing and inspiring things but also how the greed/arrogance/ignorance of humanity can turn those things into something sad and oppressive as well. It's not like it's just a dark, depressing [at times] for no reason.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
