This whole storyline was originally intended to be a setup for a spin off. Legostar Galactica: ON A SPACE STATION! But honestly I just don’t have the time for said spin off, just now. Some day I might, at which time I could have a lot of fun with it, but until then, it’s just a place for Deborah.
A spin off is preferable to being put on a bus, but if you don’t have the time, you don’t have the time. It is a shame that she left just as she was getting likeable.
