I do wish they had thrown in a line about the lifeboat scenario having been tried before and not worked, or that they were trying some new variant on it.

Agreed - wouldn't have taken much, just some mention that they were extremly lucky to pick up the distress call immediately, while the Cortez was still near the gate.

Good points on the recurring themes of the various plots.
