Okay the stuff with Volker and Parks was very awwwwww, but came crashing to the Earth at the end when we are reminded that Greer and Parks already have a thing for each other.
Rush is a jerk that was a d**k move to trap Brody in that stasis pod and then act like nothing happened. While watching Eli freak out trying to rescue him. Although I have to say I really liked the introduction of the stasis pod room. I wonder if they will find Franklin's body inside one of those chambers later. We do know that his mind was saved into the computer of Destiny, but what about his body? I'm with Eli I want to know what's in all those Anicent storage containers.
Now onto the planet part of the episode. I have to say I really like the design of the creature, it was very alien looking with more than just 4 legs. It's kinda sad that they had to kill off all the LA expect for Varro but now at least Varro, who I really like will now get to take part in the mission. I sorta sense a possible love triangle with TJ, Varro, and Young.
Again we are getting more and more Greer stuff. This time it should that he was not just some gun hoe marine, that he was actually afraid of something. I really think it had to do with he couldn't do anything about the "blackness" that he wasn't under control of how he would meet his own demise. That he was going to die without a fight.
