They're really not doing a damn thing with the setting. The hook of this show for me was the Destiny itself - they're on an alien ship, hundreds of thousands of years old, a complete mystery, mostly locked out of everything useful and/or interesting. And what have they learned about the ship in the last ten episodes? Pretty much squat. How much time have they spent poking around, really? Pretty much none.

I like the characters, I like the dynamics, I like the psychology - but I'm tired of the show pretty-much completely ignoring its own premise to focus solely on those things.
