So the System’s Most Wanted Man who’s caused so much destruction to both Earth, Mars and their territories, came after you with every intent to obliterate you and your crew and you got this one rare opportunity to take him out but you decided to disarm your missile for the sake of the stupid son of your girlfriend??? Really Really dumb move Capt Holden!!! Really dumb move…

I think the son is meant to remind us that conflicts are more complicated than ‘us vs. them’. Even our enemies are not so distant and different. They have families and are human.
That was Holden demonstrating the wisdom and humanity that I think will be a saving grace in the end.
Plus, Marcos would also be quite powerful as a martyr.

That’s why I love this show though. It really makes you think about what your views are in real life!
