No, but I do occasionally want to smack you, but this isn't one of those times.
That was totally sweet!

 WOW!!! I hadn't thought about what the flashbangs would do to his sensors/cameras. Makes sense now.
All I can say is one word:
BOOM!!!!!!!

Smilin little jerk never thought of that one, eh?
And I see some quick thinker though it would be worth it to suicide into the rock to divert the course.... well quick thinker yes, physics student, not so much.

Is that what you think happened? I got the impression it was a collision born of flash-bang blindness...

Nothing like a few thousand tons of raw nickel-iron to ruin your day.
Now might be a good time for some nice last words. You know, something inspiring or witty to show that just because an enormous rock is about to end your life, you can still...uh...make a smartass comment before you go?

Yeah...to make a smartass comment, you have to be smart; this guy was a smarmy twit who thought he was smart, but turned out to just be only slightly clever.
Of course, I wonder a little about the logic of this move. I mean, okay, I read in some archive somewhere that viable male births are starting to surface, ones who aren't falling to the plague, but even so, it'll be a decade or two before they reach a fertile ago, while this guy--obnoxious and treasonous though he may be--has a pair of working nads...and they're gonna vaporize him. Don'cha think this ought to be more of a capture-and-force-breed situation, really?
I mean, okay, they're fighting for their lives and maybe there isn't time to consider that versus basic survival, but still...that guy is a commodity, one way or the other. Emotionally, I'd like to see him dead as much as anyone, but practically...that's not the best move.
Of course, that might be the six-to-eight (I lost count) shots of rum I had tonight talking, but still...I think the point is at least slightly logical, don'choo???

It'd be perfectly logical reasoning under normal circumstances yes. The problem is he's trying to kill all of them in a ship that overpowers their own. This isn't like before when Captain Rob had superior forces to order a prisoner captured. With her ship as damaged as it is, and her fighter cover limited it is kill or be killed now.

Yep. This is what Custer Would have done if he'd had a small asteroid to throw at Crazy Horse.

Would you want to do the deed with him? I certainly wouldn't :p
As far as working nads go though, I see his worth at this point only as a glorified sex bot at this point. Technology is obviously at the point where they can create embros without needing a living male counterpart otherwise there wouldn't be male babies being born in the first place.
Also, I'm not a geneticist but if there is a sudden explosion of his genes in the population, if he has say diabetes and a family history of cancer, wouldn't that then result in much more of these problems around? I don't know, just speculating.

Also, perhaps my favourite line of the comic so far...
