Was good to see Young putting him firmly in his place at the start of the episode with his little line about following orders. Scott's not suited to command, on Earth he'd be the equivalent of Walter, desk jockey pushing paper and pens.Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people.

You dont have to have a bond of loyalty to do your job. Scott's inexperience is compounded by his questionable morality and the fact that he is easily manipulated by others. Wray has him wrapped round her little finger, she flashes him a look and the next moment he's grappling with Greer attempting to open the door. Greer should have sparked him out.Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people.

I like Greer's "stand to attention" cold stare in that scene vs "emotional" Scott. It was a nice contrast.Currently watching: Dark Matter, 12 Monkeys, Doctor Who, Under the Dome, The Mentalist, The Messengers, The Last Ship, Elementary, Dominion, The Whispers, Extant, Olympus, Da Vinci's Demons, Vikings

If you follow an order that leads to the murder of innocents for example, you can be held just as responsible as the commanding officer.
Aside from that it is Scott's duty not to follow and be complicit in illegal orders. Where interrogation ends and torture begins can be blurry, but it appeared for a minute that Young had killed Telford, something that there is no leeway in, it would be an illegal act under military law.
Scott did exactly what he should have done. Young failed to inform him what was going on, and appeared to be about to commit an illegal act, which Scott is duty bound to stop him. Scott's training seemed to be working perfectly.

Which isn't a problem. Depends if he's learning or not.sigpicMourning Sanctuary.
Thanks for the good times!
