live and let live

I was thinking about this line as well as the fact that all PE captains are given a gun in case of a mutiny - not handcuffs, not a holding cell, not a taser or a tranquilliser. A real gun. It all seems to imply that PE ships are such miserable, stressful and sanity draining environments that, in the past, many other ships have also experienced cases of “cabin fever” and have had one, or even multiple, crew members trying to kill each other in their madness.

As seems to be the case with this sort of thing, PE just disposed of these employees in the most literal, and permanent, way they could, then preformed the corporate equivalent of slapping a band-aid on a gaping, infected, wound by ordering the medical staff - who seem to be barely qualified as medics given that a PE medical degree is worthless outside of the company - to provide the crew with very basic psychological evaluations (not support - just evaluations) and banning all the “luxury” items to punish everyone else.

While we know that Jimmy feels the evaluations are pointless, and doesn’t take them seriously, but he’s not the only one who thinks that way (he’s just the most vocal). Curly just seems to view them as a sort of formality that just needs to be “over and done with” as quickly as possible, and I doubt Swansea ever took much stock in them.

Besides, even if Jimmy had been completely honest in his evaluation, and admitted he was having violent urges and dissociative episodes…there was still nothing Anya could offer him that could seriously help him: Anya was training to be a nurse - but she’s not a qualified psychiatrist, the psych-reports certainly weren’t going to reach anyone who could help (she’d clearly been on multiple hauls with the three of them and nothing came of her old reports) and she had no real tools or support available to deal with a situation like this.
