I think you raised valid criticisms. But by showing us the vote they had put themselves in something of a box.
Ted and Rex totally in character to vote yes, they wanted Charles not voting, so Sylvester had to vote yes.
It might have been better from a plot perspective to just not show us the vote.
There is a lot to like about this series. I won't claim they get everything right. But I'm happy with the overall
direction. I think you also see the Infinity influence.
