I guess what irks me about that is that it's one thing to come up with a sensible plan in a classroom simulation, but out in the field when you only have seconds to come up with something, it's not that easy. And that is something that Rip has not taught his new people, which is born out later in the episode when his crack team is trapped and the woman was captured.
Funny thing is, while I have no love for Rip at this point, I still love Arthur Darvill. He's starting to be on the John Barrowman scale for me, where I can absolutely hate the character but still love it at the same time because I love the actor.
