I also like that we took an almost Messianic character in Havena and humanized her a bit with some imperfections. But you can really understand her position, she took a huge leap of faith in that confession....and it really did put a lot of her people in danger. It all worked out....but it almost didn't. Did she actually make the right choice...its a worthy debate.The council's decision is a tip of the hat to the notion that while humanity and the Union are not perfect, they are pushing for that perfection we humans strive for. Booting out Moclus is again a huge gamble, the military calculus would say its absolutely the wrong decision (it would be like Canada leaving NATO while under invasion from Russia)...but the council would no longer allow the brutality of Moclus to go unchecked.My one nitpick was Gordon, its clear they brought him down to Earth just to have his one outburst...but ultimately it really didn't do much. I mean the audience was already quite clear how crappy Moclus was, it didn't need to be specified. It didn't really do much for Gordon's character, we already know he's brave but also foolhardy. Now if it had some real consequences to Gordon's career that would be an interesting way to go....but it looks like he got to commit a major and direct Faux Pa while being ordered to stand down by his superior officer...which is a MAJOR offense...and get away with it Scott free. So that whole thing just seemed kind of silly in the face of an otherwise amazing episode.And man Bortus can throw down when he wants to....so awesome!</blockquote>
