About Season 1 episode 2

[u/InfernalClockwork3]

Why didn’t the admiral let the ship go to Calivon space when they had Isaac?

We learn that the Calivon respect Kaylons so surely it should have been alright to go into their territory if they pretended Isaac was the captain.

[u/UncontrolableUrge]

There is a standing order not to go there. If they had failed and antagonized the Calivon then the Union would have to face them.

[u/ImStevan]

now imagine if calivon had the idea of having an entire union ship as a walk in interactive zoo exhibit

[u/SadisticNecromancer]

“The Kaylon can go everyone else has to stay” that would probably be the in show logic. In real world logic the episode needs to happen and plot holes are all over every piece of media.

[u/MGNConflict → u/SadisticNecromancer]

They'd almost certainly lose, too. You don't stick your hand in a wasps nest just because you dropped something in there, the blowback would be worse.

“Command Performance”

[u/Dinoclawre]

Well that is what they did in the end no?

[u/InfernalClockwork3 → u/Dinoclawre]

The admiral did not let them though

[u/DipperJC]

This is what that question sounds like to me:

"Why doesn't Reddit let people post racial slurs on subreddits where people don't mind that?

We know there are racists who use Reddit, surely it'll be alright if they just keep it in their corner and it doesn't leak out."

The answer should be obvious - because the risks for catastrophe are simply too great, no matter how logical the argument may seem on its face.

[u/Ralph--Hinkley → u/DipperJC]

Whut?
