Yes, by "light" I mean it's failing at its attempts at seriousness if that makes sense... Making it "light entertainment" to me. Outside of the time-loop episode, I can just switch off my brain and enjoy the Space opera. It's trying to be "dark", but it's really only the captain's performance (easily the best character in the show so far for me) that succeeds there. If you bump the special effects budget down about 10 notches, it would be a SyFy show. Which is fine for me, to be honest.
