    For those following along, it’s the season two finale, not the season three premiere.

    JAKE: Maybe we’d better go back to the station for help.

    NOG: Good idea. Computer, fly us back to the station.

    COMPUTER: Please restate command.

    JAKE: Computer, disengage autopilot and lay in a course back to the wormhole.

    COMPUTER: Enter authorisation code.

    It’s clunky, but it sounds like the “autopilot” is what’s keeping them locked in orbit of the planet, and they’re trying to break out of that pattern.
