From the Jewel Staite interview...
Exactly what I've been saying all along. Why is it so hard for people to accept that not everyone is a soldier and not everyone can be stoic and calm in the face of certain death right out of the gate?
She is how a normal person would react. She is how a CMO with no previous training for those situations would react. I say good job writers for daring to actually go there and risking the wrath of the fans that expect bravery to only be shooting guns at enemies and laughing in th face of danger. Courage is being scared out of your mind and finding the strength to not run and hide or curl up in a ball and weep.
“I got a new leather jacket to wear off world,” the actress enthuses, “They’ve given me this off-world outfit and solidified me as more a part of the team, so that’s really cool. She’s still a little bit of a ‘fraidy cat,” Staite laughs, “but what I really like about Keller is that she seems to react the way a normal, ordinary person would in a death-defying situation. I think there’s a lot of humor and a lot of realism in that. But she’s learning and she’s definitely becoming used to being in dangerous situations and stepping up to the plate a bit more. So, slowly but surely, she’s getting the hang of it.”

I am really glad we'll get to see more of Jewel and Keller this next season.
