25 years ago, America launched Overture, a generation ship to a nearby star.

Today, Overture is the set of the first reality show shot in space.

Through confessionals, we'll learn the crew's love, fears, and most secret

dreams. Welcome to personal space.

Hello, Deborah.

Your hair looks different.

Deborah. Yeah, thanks for noticing.

I used up most of my hairspray ration.

That's what Blasto did with my recorder.

She told him that Blasto would be allowed to use Lee's recorder as long as

cleans it thoroughly and returns it after he shivs.

This way, Lee shouldn't have any reasonable objection to Blasto's

That's not good mediation.

You are not satisfied with the compromise?

Won't compromise.

Blasto gets to do whatever he wants with my personal possessions.

Do you know why I brought that recorder with me?

I do not know why, Deborah.

No, of course you don't.

Here I am talking to you like you're a person.

So with that behind us, we can move on to the more important stuff.

I've started my observation.

I haven't seen anything on first light, of course, but hopefully over the next

few years... What would happen if you didn't find anything?

Oh, then we would know something about the solar system we never knew before.

Even if another scientist, on Earth or in a later shift, found evidence?

Oh, of course I'd like to be on the cutting edge, but I'm just glad to be

of the process.

No one else has ever had the chance to study stuff like this before.

And there's a section of the hydroponics lab. So old that it's falling apart. I

mean, I don't know what the first shift botanist was thinking.

Freeman came in and fixed it, and it worked great.

And then he went in and fixed it again.

And again.

And again.

Tinkering for no reason. I mean, how do you tell someone who's trying to help

the... They're getting in your way.

Gardner needs to work harder to get the crew to compromise.

I get that she wants to look into that telescope.

But she needs to realize that this is the real job.

Were you picked for this mission to be an Oort -class specialist or to be a

commander?

Well, you can't separate the two. They're both part of why I'm here.

Does it annoy you to deal with the rest of the crew's problems?

No.

That's part of my job description as well. Why would it annoy me?

Anyway, Leonard did me a solid fixing the hydroponics that fast.

Is there anything that guy can't do?

You might be annoyed if you felt the crew question your abilities.

I'd handle it if it came up.

I'm not saying Gail can't handle it.

I'm just thinking that it may be necessary for me to step in to help her

everyone on her side.

Why do you think she needs to be helped?

Well, obviously, I've never felt this way, but back on Earth, some said that

Gale's only on this mission because of who her parents are.

But they didn't.

People talk.

I can tell you about this because you're the commander.

Gale's only on this mission because of who her parents are.

My parents?

Yeah, if she continues to botch easy mediation, I worry that her crew isn't

going to respect her authority.

So I'm happy to lend her some of mine.

My mother's 91, as in years old.

I spent 25 years in cryo.

I'm amazed she's alive.

She wrote me for several years, and then she slowed down, and then she stopped.

And yes, she was and is an inspiration to millions, which King is apparently

holding against me.

Thank you for telling me.
