In grade school, I was marked down on a short writing assignment because I spent the whole time describing how a space desk/computer would work. Scalzi clearly had no such discouragement and spends a lot of time describing those systems. It's a good time though, and his designs are well thought out. Builds its world well and grapples with some of its ethical questions.

Better than I remember. Decent cast, but a really thoughtful and interesting plot. Also doesn't overstay its welcome.

Hits all of my buttons- some breaking of the 4th wall, great characters, good tv history parallels.
