Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack7" data-source="post: 5154084" data-attributes="member: 54707">Personally, I would have killed Rush early on. As soon as I realized what a danger he was to the ship.I agree with this for the most part.The situation they are in now demands cooperation and the working out of a power sharing or at least a definite chain of command agreement.I will continue to watch because there are many unanswered questions which I think lie at the background of most of the conflicts. Such as who was the original traitor and what were their motives, what is Rush's real agenda and what is he looking to actually achieve, what is the agenda of the aliens (and it is hard for me to believe these are the only aliens interested in the ship and it's crew), etc.But to me they need to start better flushing out the relationships and backgrounds of how the conflicts relate to their overall situation, and stop resolving long term problems immediately. Rush should have been absent a long time. Sometimes the series seems far too rushed and not patient enough, sometimes it seems too patient and not interested enough in real problem solving. (Not being able to develop a consistent and coherent power sharing agreement and chain of command is a threat to everyone aboard. Mutinies don't have to end amicably, and no mutiny aboard my ship would have ended the way that one did - unresolved and open to future manipulation. Someone would either be dead, or everyone would understand their exact place in the chain of command and the future consequences of endangering the ship through stupid and unauthorized action. So everyone would either agree that what happened was unacceptable and better governing and decision making practices would exist for the future on everyone's part in order to ensure the safety of the ship, or the mutineers would be dead or imprisoned and that would help ensure the future safety of the ship.)I like the show, a lot, but it is uneven so far.And far more often than not the crew creates their own peril when they would do far better (and be far wiser) to avoid it.In survival situations the point is not to create problems through discontent, recklessness, and stupidity, but to solve, or better yet avoid them altogether, through prudent preparation, action, and wisdom.The crew acts like they are fighting a political battle.They are not. They are fighting a war for survival.You don't win a war for survival on mutineer's pay.</blockquote>
