History Series / OtherSpace

* NumberTwo: Karen, who would far prefer to be captain. Mike ''aspires'' to this role, however, having filled it for Stewart when the two played pretend as kids, and goes along with Karen's mutiny largely because it means getting promoted from Number Three.

''Other Space'' was created by Creator/PaulFeig of ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' and ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'' fame for Yahoo!'s ill-fated Yahoo! Screen venture and stars Neil Casey, Eugene Cordero, Conor Leslie, Bess Rous, Karan Soni, and Creator/MilanaVayntrub alongside ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' 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, but to no avail. Although Yahoo! Screen no longer exists, all eight episodes of its first season can be found [[https://shareotherspace.tumblr.com/ here.]]

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Tina and Mike after getting stuck on a planet with YearsInsideHoursOutside.

* {{Nepotism}}: Mike's a member of the crew because he's Stewart's childhood friend; Kent's a member of the crew because his mother's a higher-up at UMP, and Tina's a member of the crew because Stewart has a crush on her. That's almost half the crew, and goes a ways towards explaining the serious competence issues.

** Karen agonizes over accidentally killing [[spoiler: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.

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 rivalry. Stewart is happy-go-lucky and a major people-pleaser, while Karen is stern and authoritarian.

''Other Space'' was created by Paul Feig, of ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' and ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'', and co-stars Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' as Zalien and A.R.T.. All eight half-hours of its first and only season went up on Yahoo! Screen on April 14th, 2015, and can be found [[http://screen.yahoo.com/other-space here.]]

* ExplosiveDecompression: the fate of alien infiltrator [[spoiler:Chad]] in "Getting to Know You". Justified in that his alien biology apparently doesn't react the same as humans in vacuum.

** "Getting to Know You" has this first against the crew accused of alien infiltration, then against the infiltrator itself.

* Zalien Fletcher, the ship's engineer and oldest crew member who's basically fried his brain with engine radiation and drugs;
* Chad Sampson, the cool and laid-back crew member from auxiliary deck.
* A.R.T., Zalien's best friend, a robotic stowaway with entitlement issues; and
* Natasha, the ship's chipper yet blunt ArtificialIntelligence.

* TheAce: Chad.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The alien infiltrator in "Getting to Know You" sabotaged the ship and almost ejected half the crew into space, but when identified they're mostly concerned with its cover-maintaining plagiarism.

* ExplosiveDecompression: the alien infiltrator's fate in "Getting to Know You". Justified in that his alien biology apparently doesn't react the same as humans in vacuum.
* FanOfThePast: Kent, as he was shown lots of pop culture from our time during his isolation. This helps them weed out an alien intruder in "Getting to Know You"--it's the crew member who speaks entirely in [[spoiler:Matthew [=McConaughey=]]] references.

* RememberTheNewGuy: How [[TheAce Chad]] is introduced.

* SpeaksInShoutOuts: One alien they encounter speaks entirely in [[spoiler: Matthew [=McConaughey=]]] references.

* [[spoiler: TrumanShowPlot]]

* WidowsWeeds: donned by Natasha on the occasion of [[spoiler:A.R.T.'s death.]]

* LastSecondWordSwap: Tina, when she's discovered using emergency power to watch YouTube-equivalent cat videos.

* Chad Sampson, the cool and laid-back crew member from auxiliary deck [[spoiler: who turns out to be an alien.]]

* TurnedAgainstTheirMaster: A.R.T., Natasha, and Kent attempt this in episode 5. [[EpicFail It goes as well as you'd expect]].

* TheStoner: Zalien has

--> '''Karen''': Who murdered A.R.T.? I thought we agreed it wasn't funny anymore.

** [[RuleOfThree A third one happens]] in episode 5 "Trouble's Brewing", when A.R.T., Natasha, and Kent try to stage a RoboticRevolt. It fails miserably, until they join forces with an AxCrazy coffee machine.

* MundaneGoal: The pilot informs us that Zailen's greatest dream it to find a tuna sandwich.

* TheAce: "Getting to Know You".

* RememberTheNewGuy: The end of the first episode.

* TooDumbToLive: When the crew try to figure which one of them is an alien so they can be ThrownOutTheAirlock, Zalien not only doesn't bother to say he's human, but genuinely seems to consider he might be an alien.

* BeingWatched: Zalien and A.R.T. discover that the ''Cruiser'' was intended as a reality show to drive public interest in space exploration. The crew is constantly surveilled by omnipresent microscopic cameras.

** The Cruiser's communication device is an [[EndersGame ansible]]

%‰ * ArtificialIntelligence: Natasha.

* ArtificialIntelligence: Natasha.

* ADogNamedDog / HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: a rare inanimate example, the CoolSpaceship UMP ''Cruiser'' is... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a cruiser in the UMP]].

* TheMaidenNameDebate/ShedTheFamilyName: Stewart dreams about marrying Tina and taking her last name. His motivations for this aren't clear.

* TheMutiny: Karen pulls one of the "relieve him of command" variety in the first episode, ostensibly because Stewart left dock without making sure they had proper supplies and then stranded them in another universe, but really because she's jealous that Stewart outranks her. 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.

* SpaceClothes: Society of 2105 mocks the ancient tradition of neckties in favor of the sartorially refined collar balls. Dress uniforms in the UMP also have the men in skirts and the women in pants, with pants still being considered gender neutral.

* [[TheAllegedCar The Alleged Ship]]: The UMP ''Cruiser'''s food tank hasn't been upgraded in thirty-five years, its engine leaks mind-numbing radiation, its AI was purchased from Hooter's, and ''bits of it fall off when it undocks''.

* RidiculousFutureInflation: a cup of coffee costs $40, and $1,000,000 is a comfortable bonus.
