Yes, there were things that drove me a bit batty ... like how long the tether was (not to mention the apparent lack of motorised reeling in system), and the fact that everyone seemed to think the fellow would be allowed to remain active in the program after taking his unauthorized sight-seeing walk.
I am guesting that space travel have become pretty common in this time period also he was one of the highest rated astronaut on the mission.
A few questions arose as well:
Why were there only two backup officers available? If there were over 1000 applicants for each position, why wasn't there a full back-up team standing by?
Why would a married couple be allowed to participate in the program, especially with one technically being in command of the other?

Who/what is Beta ... and more importantly, *where* is Alpha?
Judging from the flashbacks - just how long as 'Beta' been involved in the planning of this program?

Speaking of the flashbacks, yes, there seemed to be a lack of distinct transitions to cue the audience that we were in a flashback. Some had dates on them, but some were more based on contextual evidence ... I enjoyed getting the background information, as well as seeing parts of their training, but the jumping around on the timeline did make me have to pay rather close attention!
see what comes about next week!
Oh, and to answer someone's question about advertising, we (SW Ontario) started getting snippets for the show maybe 3 weeks ago? Not a long build-up at all -- but there was enough of a one to get both my dad and I independently to set our PVRs to record the show
