That's the main problem. While the movie did a good step towards realism (with
people of another planet speaking something else than English), the series took
it back. The aliens (even primitive ones) speak English again, and without the
help of a Universal Translator as in Star Trek. Couldn't they hire one of us to
make languages for the show? :))

Take your life as a movie: do not let anybody else play the leading role.
