Parts of this show are good, particularly the setting (and I really enjoyed Season 2). The thing that I find annoying is a total lack of character growth, no matter how many times someone has elected to make the worst possible decision, it fails to negate the next person from making the worst possible decision. The most frustrating part of the fact that everyone makes the worst possible decision is that, at least 95% of the time, there's always some random character playing the voice of reason, and every single time they get disregarded.

Towards the beginning of the show, most of the main characters were kids, all having had no experience interacting with an alien culture, and I could use that to explain away some of the blatant stupidity. There's middle aged characters in the show that haven't been doing a hell of a lot better.
