My point was that Josh wanted to be treated as an adult. This was something which was addressed in a previous episode, when he went to work for Boylan. He made an adult decision in this episode, and fortunately no one died because of it. His punishment seems to be that he has to go back to being treated like he is a 15 year old kid.
And who gave him this "punishment"? Did Taylor merely say, "Josh, you done wrong, son. But, I think you're a good kid, and the son of my personally appointed town cop, so I'm going to let you off easy. (And being one of the main cast doesn't hurt as well.)" Come to think of it, was Taylor even informed about Josh's actions?
2.) If killing Taylor was not in the Sixers best interest, why did one of them try to kill him in the first episode? It's possible that Carter was acting against orders, however I don't recall any instance of that being the case.
How were the Sixers going to take over the colony when they arrived in the first place? Were Taylor and all of his supporters going to be dis-armed and put under house arrest?
Arguably, the best way for the Sixers to take over the colony would be for them to eliminate the leadership of Terra Nova. Making Taylor a martyr would only work against them if there was some sort of leadership who could use Taylor's death to bind the population together in a common cause.
3.) I think it's more like Mulligan's Valley.
