A Great Opertunity Missed?

[PRangerX]

I just watched Dismissed today and I must say they really wasted a good opertunity. They introduced Birdy and have him relieve Commander Cruger of duty. We saw a new tension in SPD, with Birdie contradicting Cruger's style. But than at the end, Cruger shows up and saves the day. Birdy all of the sudden becomes everyones's best friend and leaves. Instead of a story arch that could have made things more interesting, it ended up being a one episode thing ( that wasnt even fully explored enough). I think Cruger should have saved the day and been allowed to resume his rangr duties. Birdy should have been left in Command still, so all the tension would still be there. I know they have no money for extra actors, but it still would have been an interesting premise. And Birdy would have been far more useful than Boom and Piggy have been.
