The ship is in a minefield. How will they get out? This Takehaya is a smart fellow, it seems. On the other side of the ocean, Michener is having some problems of his own, the regional leaders putting pressure on him and the decisions his administration is taking.
After a couple of down episodes, "Minefield" brings things back to basics. The ship, in a minefield, trying to survive without blowing out to pieces, with Wolf, Green, Cruz or Jesse having their own time to shine, does give the episode much needed fresh air, raising the tension with also a couple of nice twists.
In the USA, the political games offer some interesting power plays and also a little bit on the role of the press on telling narratives and directing the public opinion. Again, no awards for originality, but it plays really well with the moments when we disconnect from the minefield.
And more to come.
