Ok, so I mostly liked it. There were certain moments of squee.

But... but... but...

What about the constellations in "Home, Part II", eh?

There wasn't even an attempt at a handwave for this, that I could see.

At least they could have got Number 3 back to say "Well, whenever you notice something like that, a deity did it?"

I sadly just can't get over the 'o hai let's throw away all our antibiotics and life-saving knowledge so we can become neolithic hunter-gatherers' plan that no-one in the entire fleet seems to object to...

That, and the last bit with the robots was just kind of silly. I read an interview with Moore saying that AI researchers were predicting true AIs in 5 years, so ooh, maybe we should really worry about it, or something. As you probably know, AI researchers have been saying that less and less convincingly since about the 50s, peaking in the 80s. I can't think of anyone more respectable than Kevin Warwick claiming human-level AI any time soon these days.
