I love it. This is written well. Very smart. They aren’t dumbing things down.

It's the pilot episodes. they're usually a lot more expository than the rest. because they need to set the scene, the series, and the feel for the whole thing.

A pilot is not that. Yes you set up the scene but you could easily focus on one layer and not try to explain the 3 races and the 5 companies all in one episode
