I knew the commander would show up. I just wonder if he has been on the planet the length that Ledo has. It is interesting that he seems to have taken the path of dominance as opposed to Ledo's choice to live next to the people of the planet.

Pinion turned in to a total ass this episode. He gained a little bit of power and lost it. He basically wishes to do what the commander did and build his own empire. I could care less if he died in the coming confrontation.

Chamber has some interesting logic as others have pointed out. He built a extremely well argument for why Ledo can't back down. I can see why Ledo would still hesitate though. He never had to massacre entire troves of children who were evolved humans. His society did kill children but Ledo was not the one pressing the button.
