I don’t know Ross, the premise of this episode seems to have so many plot holes that I don’t know if it’s really worth considering in depth.
-We’re supposed to believe Planet A has never even once had someone go without the drug and live?
-How did this whole scenario get started to make Planet A think they had a virus?
-If Planet B only knows how to make the drug, then all scientists, doctors, and engineers needed to make society work are on Planet A, but they never managed to figure this out?
-If Planet B does nothing but make the drug, doesn’t that mean they have no military? Why hasn’t Planet A just invaded them and taken the drug?
And I could go on and on, but you get my point.
