great video. i think the star chart thing is explained by the fact he doesn't know how far away he is from earth. From any of the close stats to Sol, the constellations would look the same, little does the poor guy know he's on the opposite side of the universe
I love your analysis of this episode, while it’s not my favourite episode I agree that it serves several important purposes and is a solid second episode
About the translator microbes mistake, I, too, have been aware of this for a long time. I have tried to come up with a (hopefully) reasonable solution to the problem. What if in the distant past they were given the microbes but they no longer have a memory about it and that somehow this particular microbe doesn't have to be implanted at birth, but gets passed along through procreation?
I was one who never liked this episode, but you sold it well in your commentary.

Good point. He really is just grasping for straws at this early stage.

Thank you. I will take the same approach with all the episodes.

THE EPISODE ORDER IS OFF ON PEACOCK! characters were more hostile towards one another and was confusing
I thought this was a weird one.
This one always seemed a bit odd to me. I felt it should had been later in the series.
