At first, it seems like a typical sci-fi show with our heroes traveling among the stars in spaceships. Then it is revealed they do not have faster-than-light transportation technology: their voyages actually take tremendous amounts of time. The characters appear not to age because they have made huge improvements in longevity; they are all actually (say) thousands of years old. That they have solved aging explains why these old characters are played by young, good-looking actors (of course).
Years might go by between scenes. Completely elided is the monotony of the thousands of years in which nothing happens.
