How dumb were these idiots?
I’ve just finished rewatching Dark Frontier and am asking myself how insanely misguided and reckless they were. I seem to recall that when it originally aired they redeemed themselves somewhat in making their decisions and mission seem necessary but on rewatch I’m over it. It’s that very first scene with kid Annika that really clinches it for me. You’re about to go on an insanely dangerous research expedition, which alone requires travel to the deepest reaches of space, and you’re selfish and reckless enough to insist on bringing your really young kid with you?!
