I think people are watching his reviews with the wrong expectations. He's a writer and a movie buff. His complaints are almost about writing: plot holes, characterization, pacing, bad dialog etc.

He is quite a shit writer and movie buff then, the pilot itself got plot holes, weird pacing, shit dialog and so on. And this is without getting into original lore.

Nay, I say he is wanting to join the dying empire for success and fame, his offer is that he can bring the strays back onto the farm.
