I myself won't be around to review till Monday or Tuesday, but please chat away.
Trapped in the mysterious and mind-bending greenspace and on the run from the deadly Lady, Aneela, and her father Khlyen struggle to stay one step ahead of the Lady, while keeping a wounded Dutch alive with a story that he promises will save her life: the tale of Dutch and Johnny’s first mission in the Quad. He tells the story of the time when, down to their last few Joy, Dutch and John accepted a simple cargo transportation gig to the armpit of the galaxy and how this led to them facing off with a deadly assassin.

...also I was right and Johny became Lucy's favorite by treating her as a person rather than a thing.

It made sense that it took them a while, especially with Dutch's personality type, and we meet them years on into their partnership in the premiere. So as far as the bickering, I thought that was fun. But I get the other interpretations too.
Johnny teaching Lucy to think for herself was also great.
