68.224.91.76 if slaine wanted to payback saazalbum he could have done the "I am not going to kill you but I am not going to help you" deal. If slaine didnt know that the princess was in the raiding party in ep 12 and believed that princess was elsewhere then siding with saazalbum would be somewhat understandable. But if he had a brain he would have put the princess's life over saazalbum. Slaine is personification of lead before you look. Slaine jumping the gun figuratively and literally is what lead to him being tortured. Slaine wasn't a great manipulator saazalbum was slaine just figured that if he kept raising saazalbum flag promising martian equaity then others would follow him. And as u said that the lunar base may still stop the transmission from earth to mars so slaine's plan to make the princess a hero of the martian commoner would never make it back to the martian commoner populace. Slaine never thought things through if someone could read his mind the only word in his head would be princess repeated over and over.

While I to like a redemption story but slaine's return would undo all that happened in season 1 and 2.
