I know (hope) they won't tell us the bad guys were teleported somewhere since we've had ep 1 with what seemed to be real deaths.
Also, the pirates really did some killing during their assault.
Amy, as young as she is, has a gun. Etc.

Maybe the only real gripe is how you vaporize 60-80kg of matter making it look like a very nice light effect... instead of a gorry hot explosion of meat/bones and body fluids.
I guess we also need an explanation for lasers that seem to change directions.

Then, I too subscribe to the idea that Ledo probably has been too rough. His stunt is a double edge sword as he can be seen as a great asset, as much as a great danger.


Rest of the ep, except the negotiations for communication, was mostly slice of life, not much to say, just a different society that lost losts of techs and R&D and never really recovered.
