RTD has a bit of the Joss Whedon flaw, that way. Joss's issue is that he's so invested in showing "womyn" as heroic and marvellous that he kind of hangs the men out to dry. RTD tries to show some darkness, some moral ambiguity in his characters, but then he ends up liking them too much, and he rehabilitates them beyond recognition. I liked angry!Owen. I thought he was convincing and interesting. But suddenly, oh, he's like that because his troo wuv died from aliens, and when he faces his post-mortality, he gets all nice and stuff, because he really was nice all along. Gag. And I like morally ambiguous Jack, I like gets-things-done Jack. Then suddenly Jack wants to somehow get a ginormous wounded alien whale back through the Rift? It doesn't stand to reason.
