I see what you mean about Doctor/Master, but seeing as no one on board Moya was ever friends with Crais, the emotional response still feels too different to me.
D'Argo: very true. Btw, I note everyone's translator microbes apparently censor Luxan obscenities? More seriously, his readiness to sacrifice himself for the others would feel differently if he was just a standard Proud Warrior Race Guy. D'Argo knows he can get hurt and die, he doesn't actually want to die, but he has grown fond of these people (and the ship), we've seen it happening through the season, and his readiness to die so they might live in freedom grows from this, not from some general fantasy code
"doing the right thing should start as soon as you get up in the morning".
Yes. And again, it feels differently coming from John after we've gotten to know him through the entire season and seen him act under pressure than if he'd said something like this early in the pilot when one could have just assumed him to do so because he's a square jawed American hero (tm).
