It bothers me how absolutely stupid the characters are sometimes.

Gordon last week going undercover and actively making stupid jokes that would get them discovered.

And then John this week making stupid jokes and refusing to put forth effort with the electric chair on the line.

They are very good at that. I watched the Krill episode twice and the 2nd time wasn't as bad because you knew what was going to happen. Watching the first time, if I was the captain, I would have shot Gordon myself. The stuff he did was pretty ridiculous, especially considering who their hosts were.

They did the same thing in the next episode. I found the grinding on the statue very annoying even if they weren't on an alien planet. I didn't really feel sorry for him at any time during the show. Act a fool, pay the price.

They may not be officers but you would expect people who work on the bridge with the top officers to have a little more common sense and etiquette than they displayed.

I just finished the latest episode and MY-GOD. I was hoping Isaac would vaporize the kids or whatever it was he suggested to do to them. That was way over the top annoying.

I do like the show a lot but it is great at making characters annoying as hell. It causes me to wonder how they made it to their status in life if they are really that dumb.
