First Episode

I think I'm already seeing why this show is "impossible." The damage being shown early in the very first episode, doesn't seem like it could happen as shown. Since the area of damage was part of a rotating section, the piece that comes loose would fly off away from the ship. It wouldn't smash into the other parts as shown.
This is similar to the "Survivors" episode of Babylon 5, where when the "Cobra Bays" explode, all the debris - and people - would be flung away from the station. Commander Sinclair could not have seen a person in a pressure suit floating/flying away from the station along the axis of rotation.

Oh, here's another problem: some of the sections of the ship aren't rotating, yet people in those sections appear to still have "gravity."
There was no evidence of any kind of artificial gravity, other than rotation.

The second episode was supposed to be on Electric Now last night (I was going to give it one more shot) but it was episode one again. Also, the channel is hit or miss with subtitles on some shows, so that's annoying.
What did you think of 'Barbie Girl'? I thought it was really unlikely that a person like her would be on a mission like that? But what do I know?

I suppose it depends on what ahem "qualifications" she has.
Or maybe she's just another fraud, apparently there are several of them on that ship, yet to be discovered.

Oh yeah, since the main engines were operating, nobody would have been floating when rotation stopped. The engine thrust would have pushed everyone against the side wall.
In fact, that would be happening throughout the show.
