So Holden DID disarm the torpedo to spare naomi and filipflimsy and weak writing.
Disagree, totally in keeping with his character. Holden is a bit like Jon Snow, he'll always do what he thinks is right, regardless if it's not necessarily the best course of action. There's no way he'd be able to watch on while someone executes Filip while he's helpless. If the Pella was fighting back then sure, he'd have let it hit. But no way with it belly up.
As frustrating as Jim's actions are, it's absolutely in line with the character we've come to know over the years. One of the things that that make the show stand out is characters act realistically, not doing random acts to push the story on.
I get he is a stand up type of guy - but c'mon, that is taking it to the very extreme. We are talking stopping a war that is going on across several planets and through space itself. That's a helluva stretch!

The debate is interesting but it never happened in the books, so at best it was a plot device introduced by the screen(re)writers to generate a couple of scenes on the Roci and elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure it did happen in the book? Unless I'm mistaken?
Ah ok, haven't read the books.
Still a very large stretch, it's like Seal Team 6 not taking the shot on Bin Laden, not capturing him either, just letting him get away.
Would have made more sense if he had been asked to take him alive and maybe fired a tracker - but to not end it for the sake of 1 person was again, a stretch.

I bought the last book before christmas but I've not read it yet.
I'm waiting until the series has finished (which I've enjoyed for the most part ) then I'm going to binge read the whole lot again

Or are we going the whole beltalowda bisexuell pansexual route?
I have no idea anymore tbh, sexuality utterly confuses me in this day and age

no chance - that accolade has to go to The Ghost Knife of Callisto - or Amos. loved every minute of Ashford on screen, such a shame he had to take a walk and Amos is just brilliant. who doesn't love a good ole struggling with trying to be normal psychopathBest character!
