Huh? No, I agree with that, I was just making a joke. The reason this derail was so funny is because neither of them are objectively superior.

I'm not sure why fracture widening would be bogus. The fracture was cause by gravity sheer, which could have altered the density of part of the hull, causing it to exert continued stress.
Seriously, fatigue failure exists. Introducing a weak point would probably cause the surrounding material to handle loads it wasn’t designed to. Grab any piece of metal and bend it a few times, it’s not going to last.

Pretty sure this means higher than they run between the two warring cultures (because they've been getting on pretty well for a number of eps now). loving hope so.

The last half dozen episodes have been good because they haven't featured tension between those two.

I've been really liking this show since episode 3, but that synopsis looks like it's just piling everything that's poo poo about this show all together.

The doctor is a robosexual now.

It's going to be all petty relationship drama from here on out. A love triangle between robot and blob and the Captain and XO bickering. Since the network execs decided that is what people want.

Nah. If anything the execs stop watching after the first two episodes, which is why those had the most awkward and forced humor, because execs eat that poo poo up.

The later episodes have been better by far and I see no reason why that would have to stop. Seth (or the writers) clearly know what they're doing at this point.
