Hubby and I like this show, too; but, he also has complained about that very thing. I call it "Captain Kirk Syndrome".
Kirk syndrome come from those of us who wouldn’t ask a single man to do what we wouldn’t do.....
Remember spooks message...
“the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one...”
Kirks reply was:
“Sometimes the needs of the one outweigh the needs of a few or the many”
That is why we put ourselves at risk to save a single person....it’s the message of humanity....vs the message of an alien...
Yes...I know...it’s fiction...
And I love the show.
By the third episode, I told my wife it was like Star Trek on the water. Kirk, Spock, Bones and Ensign skippy make up the landing party. Guess who ain't comin' back.
