To the reviewer critiquing the episode, who said it was ridiculous that the captain put on his spacesuit after having his spleen removed then climbed a hill, I hope you see this. If you had been patient for two seconds you would have seen that was a pre-death hallucination. You can dislike it and critique but at least be correct in your critique. Just putting this out there for other viewers with attention spans of goldfish. Overall good episode and all the hallucinations were nice touches. The hallucinations at least gave a bit of character development which made you kinda feel something when he died.

I love the concept. However, I hate it when characters are written poorly.

What NASA captain on a mission to Mars would HIDE an injury. A real captain would say, "I'm hurt, I'll do my best. We have to keep going." Then they choose to speed up in a rover and sacrifice the entire mission.... And the hurt captain agrees to it... (The mission would come first) Then the doctor says they made the best decision??

Had to stop watching after this episode...

I really wanted to like this series. The oh-so highly trained and responsible captain hides his coughing blood, Why? so that he can later be a drag on his compatriots? The doctor, having just achieved a miraculous result by inserting a chest drain and carrying out a splenectomy to save her patient, not to mention having just trekked across the open territory of Mars through the night in blisteringly cold temperatures, should have been a triumph, sobs emotionally in her message back to earth like some upset child. Talk about false emoting. Finally, the crew being asleep, obviously so tired they could not put themselves to bed, the captain wakes and without a spleen and with a massive wound in his abdomen, don's his spacesuit without any difficulty, walks across the surface of Mars and climbs a mountain. I turned it off at that point. The series loves to bang on about the emotions the characters are enduring and how tough things are for them and their family back on earth, when really they should just be getting on with it, the whole thing becomes painful to watch. Yes we know they will be separated and they might not come back, we know it will take a special type of person to undertake this trip, so why are they all behaving like pathetic millennials? I guess because that's what they are.
