The snARK S01E05 “One step forward, two steps back”

I’d like to point out at this time that that’s how they actually seem to be
writing the episode title, without any capitals, except for the first
letter.

Even though there are supposedly going to be 12 episodes, this is the last >one Ian lists on IMDb and his Wikipedia article only has one more and has

My DVR says episode six is about them finding a planet. Between Earth and >Alpha Centauri. And of course it’s rich in the fuel they need to get back >up to near lightspeed. We are officially in Space: 1999 territory now
folks. And second season at that.

To their credit, instead of dragging this out over the one remaining
episode, he instantly blabs to the ruling council, who tell him to shut up. >They give differing and contradictory information about why clones are >illegal.

Why was there not some kind of alarm triggered on the bridge when the green goo in the Universe's
Saddest Excuse for a Containment System exploded? We don't find out that there's a RADIATION LEAK
until Brice notices things are a little slow and he and Garnet do some troubleshooting and then
Garnet looks up the Excel spreadsheet with the daily assignments on them and they play phone tag
up the command chain until Eva gets to jog through the ship to find him.

The way this is filmed, there's like an hour or two between each step of this CRISIS.
SecurityFelix clears Eva when the leak starts, hacks the email, tracks down Ali, "arrests her",
learns the identity of the real emailer, explains the situation to Garnet, interrogates Trent and
THEN the leak turns critical?

HowTF did they scrub the ship if they didn't even have a radiation suit that can withstand that
type of radiation (Why have a radiation suit that can't handle the type of radiation inherent in
the ship's system in the first place?)

This "balance" ideology from Trent sounds coocoo-cocoa-puffs: Everyone having a place? Yeah,
that's never a good philosophy.

BSG Memorial Personnel Count: 126 (+2 sekrit peepl!)
-1: First radiation dude (Ralph Gregor)
-2: Trapped by doors behind TitsOut and Tripping Guy (at least)
-3: Crushed in door
-8: Trent encounters dead in corridors during his run
-1: Trent MommyIssues

The wank here is that this is a sleeper ship and no one is supposed to be awake. So why would you have alarms? If you did have alarms, they’d be in
the pod bay and set to wake people up, but that was all destroyed.

I have no idea in the world what they possibly think, scrubbing the ship entails.
