CONTINUITY VIOLATION.
Or something.
Or something.
I'd disagree. Decker and his guilt and obsession are the primary plot. The Doomsday machine is there to motivate Decker's behavior and give a sense of jeopardy to our heroes. Decker also places our heroes in jeopardy through his actions. The "solution" to the DM is basically "Kill it with fire!!!!!!!" (From the inside)

Addiction is a serious illness, not a character weakness to be treated dismissively.
No.
Yeah, let's not inflict heinous physical torture on the chemically dependent. The dependency is bad enough.
I'm rather late to this particular conversation, but ...
After working for over forty years in a hospital, I can tell you without a doubt that Nurses do 1000%+ more hands on with the patients than any doctor.
Doctor's breeze in and talk to/examine the patient for at the most 10 minutes, RN's & Aides spend their entire 8-12 hour shifts dealing hands on with anywhere from 6 to 20 patients.
You really have no clue about the realities of modern medicine.

HOLY CHIT .... The assisting RN in a surgical suite is the surgeons right hand.
They set up the room, make sure all the paperwork is proper and double check every single thing that the surgeon does before, during and after.
Including making sure that all the after-surgery processes are complete.
Again, the doctor waltzes in, does the surgery and then waltzes out, leaving the patient in the complete care of both the surgical RN and the Recovery room RN's.
You really shouldn't make statements about things you have no clue about.
SMH
It’s like working in any government environment from local municipalities all the way up to the fed. The civilian govies sit around in meetings and congratulate themselves for everything we contractors all do (and we do pretty much everything). The milspec guys are considerably better to deal with.
I worked on both sides of this - as a tech contractor, as a writer on teams bidding for work at the Pentagon and offices of DHHS, and as a governmental employee reviewing work performed by Booz Allen among others.
And I can say one thing as certain fact:
The above-quoted is without a doubt what a lot of contractors believe.

Camera rapidly zooms in and out as it pans to panel flashing CONTINUITY VIOLATION then PLOT DEVICE and then finally TECHNOBABBLE OVERLOAD as alert sfx plays.
Am I correct in assuming that (1) the officially licensed Season 3 DVD set has not been released yet, and (2) the ones I've seen for sale in various places (including Amazon, but fulfilled by an outfit I'd never heard of) are infringing BS?
Probably.
Correct on both counts. A physical media release for season 3 hasn't even been announced yet.
Then I was right when I clicked the "report" link on Amazon's listing, and reported it as a likely infringement, because neither official nor independent sources show any indication that a licensed DVD set has been released.
Before I even brought the subject up on this thread.
I'm not above putting broadcast or even online content onto physical media, or dubbing ancient, out-of-print vinyl to CD, for purposes that can in some way justified under the Fair Use doctrine, and neither am I above very specifically buying used copies of Harry Potter books, both in order to read it in the King's English, without the intrusion of U.S. editors, and because I agree with certain notable TrekBBS members about Rowling having the sort of "issues" that make me want to avoid giving her any more royalties than she's already getting.
But damned if I'm going to knowingly buy anything from somebody who infringes another's copyright for profit. Or who infringes a copyright in order to prevent the rightful owner from profiting from that copyright.
