I give my final thoughts and impressions on “Other Space”. The question is, was this show cancelled too soon, and how does it stand compared to the other shows on “Off the Beaten Path”.
After a truncated first contact and with the clock ticking before the wormhole opens, Stewart must make a choice whether to stay with the alien they barely met or go back to Earth with his crew, and deal with the entailing consequences.
While Stewart and A.R.T. fight a potential drug addiction to make contact with an alien in his dreams, Karen ends up in HR Arbitration against Michael.
After a lightning strike disables the ship, the crew must figure out how to survive in the dark without using any power.
While Michael and Tina are stuck on the surface of the new planet, Karen and Stewart have to deal with a robot uprising.
After Tina, the only crew member who can retrieve the ship’s fuel from the new planet, is dumped by a delayed message from Ted, the rest of the crew throws a girl’s night to restore her spirits before the fuel is inaccessible.
Our intrepid crew, completely lost and utterly bored, deal with a surprise casualty while performing some maintenance.
The crew, on the brink of existential despair and with an alien among them, play a game of mafia that quickly turns serious. Shenanigans ensue.
In the pilot episode of “Other Space” our intrepid yet incompetent crew gets irreversibly lost.
