And Straker comes up with a shocker of a solution to
his problem. It illustrates Straker's brilliance and
his ability to manipulate people and events. Not only
does his plan convince Henderson he was right about
clearing the space junk but it allows him to really
stick it to Henderson. You can tell by the expression
on Straker's face that he really gets a kick out of
that. The film director in Straker's office only
makes it better with the line about loving Straker's
policy of non-interference. LOL. Straker even offers
to explain himself but Henderson is in too much of a
high dudgeon to listen. ................>

I've always had trouble wrapping my head around the feud between Henderson & Straker. I prefer to think of it as just plain bad writing that the whole thing looks so silly and incomprehensible.
I like to think that, yes, it is because they are so much alike that there is occasional friction between them....but for the most part (meaning that in the background where we don't necesarily see them most of the time), they are BOTH very competent professionals and have the ultimate respect for each other. It is just the worst case scenarios that they keep highlighting throughout the series.
Somehow, it detracts from the series to assume that Henderson is really the buffoon that they keep seeming to portray him as.....

JMHO, Dave H.
