Other Space	comment	A 2015 sci fi comedy created by Paul Feig (of Freaks and Geeks and Bridesmaids fame) for Yahoo!'s ill-fated Yahoo! Screen venture.The year is 2105. Fifty years ago, an international coalition founded the Universal Mapping Project (UMP) to chart the cosmos and hopefully find alien life. Unfortunately, over the course of those fifty years, UMP's found basically nothing of interest to the public and its popularity is waning. It's in this climate that young cadet and exploration fanboy Stewart Lipinski is given command of the UMP Cruiser, much to the chagrin of his second-in-command and older sister, Karen, with whom he has a somewhat friendly (and other times, not so friendly) rivalry. Stewart is happy-go-lucky and a major people-pleaser, while Karen is stern and authoritarian.Also along for the ride are: Mike Newman, perpetually put-upon third-in-command when he's not being ignored; Tina Shukshin, the ship's massively underqualified, spacy, and possibly psychotic navigator; Kent Woolworth, who spent most of his life in isolation and so barely has any idea how to interact with or read people; Natasha, the ship's chipper yet blunt Artificial Intelligence; Zalian Fletcher, the ship's engineer and oldest crew member who's basically fried his brain with engine radiation and drugs; and A.R.T., Zalian's best friend, a robotic stowaway with entitlement issues.Unfortunately, about a minute into their first mission—already looking to be a disaster as the ship is breaking and they're light on supplies—they find themselves sucked into a wormhole to another dimension. Now this barely-qualified crew must ward off alien attackers and space anomalies as they try to find a way home.The show stars Neil Casey, Eugene Cordero, Conor Leslie, Bess Rous, Karan Soni, and Milana Vayntrub alongside Mystery Science Theater 3000 alumni Trace Beaulieu and Joel Hodgson. A year after the first season premiered in 2015, Yahoo! Screen was shut down, preventing the series from being renewed for a second season. Feig has since made attempts to revive the series, with the first season eventually being picked up by streaming service DUST in 2020.

It doesn't last, and how much Stewart should be allowed to lord this over her even after she apologizes is a point of contention in a few other episodes. Another one happens in episode two, "Getting to Know You", when the crew convinces themselves that both Karen and Stewart are aliens and locks them in the airlock. A third one happens in episode 5 "Trouble's Brewing", when A.R.T., Natasha, and Kent try to get "human rights". It fails miserably, until they join forces with an Ax-Crazy coffee machine.

After brief deliberation the crew decides he counts and grants him full access to the 3D printer. Karen agonizes over accidentally killing A.R.T. until she finds that his memory backs up into a new body when he's destroyed, and that there are at least a dozen such bodies on the ship. She promptly kills another one to vent her frustration. Later, she apparently has a change of heart. Natasha is extended full crew privileges after the robot revolt. By UMP policy when the mission ends and the crew returns to Earth she will have her memory wiped to give her a fresh start with the new crew and to preserve the current crew's privacy. No one's especially happy about this, least of all Kent, who's fallen in love with her.
