I liked it too - in the beginning. But as the series progressed, it gradually
turned into "Dukes of Hazzard" in outer space. Or maybe Starsky and Hutch.
At any rate, the plotlines became ludicrous. Written by hollywood hacks with
no feel or appreciation for science fiction or space opera.
Pure drivel.
