The 3 primary characters from the first episode (Day, Gaal, and Hari) are my favorites. The rest are okay.

I really enjoyed Zephyr Halima, but you know... she transitioned pretty early. Her scenes with Day and especially her eulogy in the 2nd to the last episode were all amazing.. that's some good acting and writing right there.

It's like 3 different shows at this point. The Empire stuff is on some Game of Thrones type shit which I enjoy. The Hari/Gaal stuff is some cool Trekkie-ish fare.. but the Terminus/Anacreon stuff is some of my least favorite. It's very SyFy channel.. from the acting to the production.
