I’m not really sure what to think about this episode. (Spoilers ahead!) On the one hand, they finally let the civilian-vs-military tension explode into action; on the other hand, there’s no clear indication what the civilians meant to do once they got control. (Rush knew, but what about the people he was working with?)
I’m also a bit confused about Eli’s loyalty for Colenel Young. Is it just that he’s a kid who looks up to the military? Is it that he doesn’t really like Rush? I’m not really sure.
And of course there’s the obvious just-in-the-nick-of-time escape that’s completely out of their control. Wouldn’t the ship realize it’s under attack, and jump early?
