Summary

The air is running out on the Destiny and a solution is sought on a desolate planet.

Our Take

The planet-of-the-week stuff is pretty thin, mostly guys trudging through sand while the clock ticks, but the shipboard drama carries it. Rush continues to be the most interesting thing here, and the desperation over the dwindling oxygen gives the episode real tension even when the plot mechanics feel familiar. A decent middle chapter that does its job without standing out.
