I'd be more impressed if they'd called ahead to Cold Station 12 and told them to junk the embryos.
Or at least addressed why they didn't.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That bothered me too. I mean, they were obviously contacted because they were on alert. I mean, there was a discussion that embryos weren't destroyed initially because of public outcry, but some explanation of recent politics on the matter would have been nice.
Still, better than last season which I gave up on around episode 4 or 5.

God, yes, much better than last year. Or maybe it's just taking up the space left by me chucking Andromeda.
No, it's better than that.

Really, the part that I was wondering about is why they have a chamber sized perfectly for a person to stand in that they can pump diseases into? Do the researchers randomly infect and cure each other for fun? Torture by genetically-engineered super-soldiers aside, what purpose would a thing like that actually serve?

You make a very good point.
I wonder about the Augments -- the only way they could be more proto-Nietzschean is if they'd quoted ... wait, no ... scratch that. I expect arm spikes by the end of the season.

If so, and it's rigged to use biological warfare on the occupants, then the builders must share my opinion of how boringly exploitative the decontamination scenes are.

Admittedly I haven't seen a decon scene in a while, but when I did, they were my second favourite part of the show (Porthos takes #1).
