Thanks, friend! OK, whew, I'm not the only one who got dizzy watching them go around and around and around those corridors, lol!

1. I liked the *idea* of a more correct military commander/more correct military procedure... but man, Ronson is *so* condescending. I wish he would have dialed it down just a touch. But his character did take the pressure off of Jack, which was interesting, and put Jack in more of the Daniel role, which was even more interesting. Makes you understand why Jack acts the way he does sometimes with Daniel. Daniel has the freedom to just act friendly and build bridges, while Jack has to think of and be prepared for every conceivable scenario, most of them bad.

2. Hey, "too big" is a better explanation than forgetting to pack a spare! :)

4. That is a good strategy! Because if I had to feed everyone, it'd be rice and beans probably. I could pull off more complete meals if they were all different though! :)

6. Yeah, I agree. This ep had some very extreme personalities, but as you point out, it's the ones with no personality that you should be afraid of! :)

Yes, absolutely. I was watching 'Scorched Earth' recently, and Jack looks so much like he'd love to be in the position of not making the decision. He's stuck with it, and he doesn't shrink from the responsibility, but sometimes he looks like he'd rather be the one arguing the case for his side to some higher power. (But then I guess he has to deal with military higher-ups, and he remembers again why he does like being the one making the command decisions, in the field at least. *g*)

I'm not sure how big the buffer would have to be, to be too big to fit two of them on Prometheus... although, maybe they can't bring spares of everything they might need, because ultimately they'd need a second ship to pack it all in, you know?

Timing would be the hardest thing, for my 'feast'. :)

Oooh, yes "Scorched Earth" is a good example of Jack dealing with very uncomfortable decisions.

Timing would be the hardest thing, for my 'feast'. *nod nod* Especially if everything had to be heated/reheated in the microwave. :)
