How many missions HAVE you commanded, “Walky?”

Ha ha, oh, right, yes, not only did Mike punch Will to save him from himself, but also so he’d fight back and Dina’d be able to get a DNA sample for Will through Mike. For this, he endears himself further to Dina, who understands what he’s doing. Mike, you glorious Xanatos Gambiter.
And, yes, Dina, make yourself visible in this particular conversation for absolutely no reason.
Rikk got a sense of who Joyce was almost instantly, because she wears her heart on her sleeve and he’s good at picking up on that. Conversely, he knows Walky isn’t so straightforward.
But he’s not so good at picking up on the exact lies people tell, and so he will never, ever suspect that Walky has indeed made decisions that have made good people die already. He can’t conceive of doing that and doubling down on the appearance of innocence instead of becoming a guilt-wracked gob of PTSD inside and out. He and Walky are much more the same than Walky will ever admit or than Rikk will ever know.It might be sort of accidentally symbolic that atheist Dina slips into the secret prayer room to start communing with her superior about the nature of the universe, I dunno.

that cargo bay’s where ALL THE ACTION is
And here I though Mike was just punching Will because he figured it would annoy him. I forgot Mike had another reason for doing that.
It completely flew over my head when I first read it, that’s for sure.
What the two commanders have seen couldn’t be more different. I know it isn’t for a long time, but this really sets up a real gut-punch of a callback.
And I had somehow glossed over the intent Mike had in sampme gathering (in his unique way) for Dina.
Here’s the thing, Rikk is assuming Walky’s gun jumping head on plans hasn’t got anyone killed yet when actually he kind of has. Sure he wasn’t a commander at the time but it still counts.
*caugh* *caugh* BIG BOSS *caugh*
Walky’s “three, going on four” response reminds me of when you ask a little kid how old they are and they include the upcoming year because they want to make the number sound as big as they can.
Hmm
“Walky?” You’re not in a good position to judge other people’s names, Rikk with two K’s.
