This was a very confusing episode. First, it seemed to play up the fact that the Andromeda is now fully crewed. Yet earlier and later episodes this season do not show the same crew level. Apparently, the amount of crew (full or none) varies depending on the week's plot.
Second, the motivation of several of the events if never really clear. Why did the aliens want this particular planet? If Trance's family was helping the aliens, how did they know and why didn't Trance know they were helping? Why didn't Trance help? Tyr's actions were very confused and non-linear as well as being out of character.
This is one of the worst episodes yet in my opinion and I am rapidly losing faith in this series. It started so good with the first season.moreless

QUOTES (7)
ADD QUOTES-
Dylan: Prep every single missile tube we've got. Full salvo. Prepare to fire on my mark. Three... Two.. Rommie: Dylan? Dylan: What?
-
Tyr: (At the approaching Torch Ships) Well, even crippled I would much rather assume the offensive than instruct the crew to make peace with their various and sundry deities.
-
Harper: Good news boss. My band of merry monkeys have scrubbed the hull clean. (Makes monkey noises) No more AG mass packets. Plus, we shampooed the decks, buffed the mirrors and threw in some air freshener, at no extra charge!
-
Rommie: There was a time when people were impressed I had enough firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes. I miss that. Dylan: Me too.
-
Beka: Don't you have something to fix? (Explosion rocks the ship) Harper: I do now!
-
Rommie: You know, this is getting very annoying. What happened to the good old days, when ships just sat around and fired broadsides at each other? Beka: The steam engine was invented?

I've always found a fully deployed battle group to be the most effective negotiator. Admiral Constanza Stark, High Guard Chief-of-Staff, CY 9758.
