ok, so there are a few things bugging me and it is to do with the pace. I love flashbacks but I could have done with episode 1 being an origin story, explaining the situation on earth, showing them doing their training, being introduced with the ship so we can be shown round it, going off into space and the crash happening at the end of the episode. You need to set it up properly and cannot assume everyone can remember/has seen the original series and know the story. If this is all we are going to get at the end of episode 2 it is a bit lacklustre because the other gripe I have is the way all the characters are behaving (insubordinately) and the children panicking all the time demonstrates a lack of training and discipline. There should be a clear chain of command which they should give them reassurance to follow in emergency situations and their training and knowledge should easily have given them the confidence to overcome some of the situations they have been in.
Going back to the pace thing, it is the little things which really bug me and I need to see certain things being done or said so you know it has happened and it is real (my realism factor). You went from them all being on the surface straight back into the ship and undressed melting ice and doing whatever else. I know the dad and the robot were down there giving them a head start but I would have liked to have seen then make there way down (however they got down there) or at least see the dad on the ship tell them they can come down over the radio. I don't like big jumps in the story like that.

I won't do anymore moaning till I have finished all 10 eps (unless something really annoying happens).
