I definitely agree. Also, in that type of situation people don't care about who is higher ranked. They'll follow the one they trust the most, which would be William in their case

William was true to his nature to the end. I hope he survives.

Very true, B Creech. I am also in total support of this. There is no way that you can continue to assume authority when it comes to matters of life and death when you are in a place where you have little or no experience. Common sense dictates the need to hand over the reins of power. Randall was more a manager than a leader.B Creech wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 10:47 Regardless of rank I think William would be the better choice once they reached land. He not only had more experience hiking in the cold but he knew his way around! I don't thunk rank should matter when you're in a situation where survival is the ultimate goal. If I had been a part of the crew I would want experience over rank any day!

You're right about Randall being authoritative. I thought that William brought balance to the situation, not leadership. It was interesting how the characters interacted.briellejee wrote: ↑05 Apr 2019, 03:36 William's experience could help them but I don't think his personality could take over such an authoritative role. In emergencies like this, I think Randall's "harshness" is a double-edged sword: one, he could keep the mood down with his yelling; but second, people will listen and there's no room for doubt somehow because of his rank.
