    This episode:

    • Shut up Franklin, how do you have a medical license.
    • Bruce is just excited to see a friend. He doesn't want to be behind a desk! The oranges aren't cutting it.
    • Ivanova limping isn't just continuity, it's Claudia having a broken leg for real from last episode
    • Keffer's presence continues to feel weird, but he saw something in hyperspace and now has a plot arc!

    We are starstuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out.

    I bet Sinclair would've gone into hyperspace with the fighter crew. He had a real passion for putting his own life on the line in pursuits that should be more questionable for a man in his position.

    Sheridan not doing that, to me, drives home the idea that he really is his own character and not just a drop-in replacement for an actor who was no longer available.

    Also, the whole hyperspace sequence gave me (very positive) Freespace 2 vibes (even if the game was like 6-7 years later).

      Yeah Sheridan has his moments but he's definitely a Captain and has the requisite delegation skills. Also Jeff didn't like oranges that much (✷‿✷)
