Yeah it seems like the overall consensus is that it did neither anything terribly offending or anything moving.
Point #7 seems weird to gripe about. It would be so plain-jane to dryly say and spell out every plot point all at once. The show had me in the dark most of the time of what the hell was going to happen, in a good way of course.
Also, I found it interesting that no mentions, to my memory, of any planets were displayed/said.
