Blackmoor Vituperative

Watching Event Horizon and having Prometheus flashbacks. “We have a top secret, super advanced space ship that mysteriously disappeared seven years ago, and now it’s back. Who should we send? Space Navy Seals? Martian Mounties? The Israel Space Force’s elite 669 Search and Rescue Unit? Nah, screw that. Let’s just send a random civilian space-tow-truck crew too stupid to understand three-syllable words.”

It’s not a case of “It was an emergency, so we sent whomever was closest.” Sam Neill’s character, Dr. Weird, was on Earth at the time, and they sent him. If they could send him, they could have sent a competent rescue team with him.
