Great post Neil.

I still haven't re-watched the episode so all the reviews are
interesting for my next viewing.

On the last point of killing Foster off, it's a shame they didn't
write this episode around Cpt Carlin so that they could have killed
off a high profile member of Shado who was leaving the series anyway.
That would have created many more opportunities in the script for
what if's / soul searching / recriminations etc. Excellent stuff.
Hey, maybe Ford could have been a pall bearer at the funeral and
drops the coffin, or his gun mis-fires on the 21 gun salute fatally
injuring ... the possibilities are endless !
