| Jan 24, 2021 at 1:22 | comment | added | releseabe | @Valorum: he sure seemed to be followed by those he was with without question. and given what they had done to River and the population of the planet, why would you assert that he might be abusing his authority? Seems to me he was given a mission with no limits on his behavior as long as he managed to do it. | |
| Jan 23, 2021 at 0:45 | comment | added | Valorum | It's not really clear whether he's using or abusing his authority, though. | |
| Jan 23, 2021 at 0:27 | comment | added | releseabe | the agent clearly has the support of the Alliance -- he has absolute authority. | |
| Jan 23, 2021 at 0:12 | comment | added | Valorum | The things you've pointed at (a single agent who's licenced to kill) and the intentional drugging of a population for their own health benefit are hardly evidence of systematic institutional "evil". | |
