Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Brad is quick to ShootTheDog or demand the Captain to be demoted but sometime it is not unwarranted.
** When the captain is showing clear sign of mental distress he urges Valence to sign the paper to declare him unfit to lead. At first it is self serving and Valence comment to herself it is trading a madman for another as Brad will literally PutOnTheReich and attack the Barzot but he is right that they have a mission and Charles is too far gone to give orders.
** When Bob is sick with a deadly virus forcing the rest of the crew to stay sick with the flu Brad points out they have to throw him out the ship as they will slowly die from the flu like Flavien is doing at the moment (he ends up coughing a lung out because his flu developped in pneumonia and they can't provide aid otherwise he'll get the deadly virus). The captain ends up agreeing when both seemingly died as it was pretentious of him to think he could do more than he could.
** When the captain orders to go through twi stars in a maneuver that will kill the whole crew Brad is the first to call it insane and ask others to commit mutiny. Flavien ends up having to both quell the crew from going along with the mutiny and disobey the captain.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Averted, he bribed his way in and even took out the competition because he didn't feel the most qualified. He is only there because he is the sole scientist on board now. Despite all his flaws, Brad is actually fairly competent as a scientist (if he can be coerced into doing his job that is).

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Averted, ZigZagged, he bribed his way in and even took out the competition because he didn't feel the most qualified. He is only there because he is the sole scientist on board now.now, and that fact is mostly what keeps him from being left on a planet or tossed out the airlock as a scientist is necessary for the mission's completion. In fact the rulebook for the mission lists Brad as the 2nd most essential crewmember, behind Bob as the pilot. Despite all his flaws, Brad is actually fairly competent as a scientist (if he can be coerced into doing his job that is).

* TheChainsOfCommanding: The responsibility of finding a new planet for the surviving humans weighs heavily on his shoulders, and he is well aware that every failure, every shenanigan, every PlanetOfHats that the ''Romano Fafard'' goes by means that more people die back on Earth. The countless failures results in SanitySlippage on his part over the course of the mission.

* SanitySlippage: Because he is the only sane man on the ship the realization that every time the PlanetOfHats or some shenanigans happen there are humans dying on Earth because of it hits him bad. The first time was in Season 2 finale where he went completely mad of grief over one failure too many, after that he has a few lesser breakdown over particularly rough obstacles.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He is sexist (voiced terror when Valence would be the new captain as she is a woman), elitist (snobs the crew and admits he owned and plans on owning slaves, mocks Serge for being a machine and Flavien for being half-alien. He isn't racist toward Bob though, mocking his weight and stupidity instead.

Later by season 3, Petrolia inventing things becomes another one, as most of her (Non-Serge) inventions turn out terribly. The later reaches such a degree that it becomes the only thing that makes him snap towards ''Valence'' when he finds out she's been encouraging Petrolia to continue inventing behind his back.
