While I really liked the first one, the second one felt stale, maybe its because the two main characters are really flat to me, and the babbling of Mariner is too much.
I did kind of enjoy the part of the one character wanting to change jobs without the education or training, they just changed his uniform color.
The first episode was smart because they turned things on its ear. The egotistical bridge crew, no luxury apartments for the lower deck guys, the abuse of the holodeck to an uncomfortable level by the lower deck people. But then in this episode it was like "Meh we don't need to explore that anymore".
Its an an eager show with lots of energy, but it doesn't seem to expand its horizons.
