9/10
Plot Hole

Warning: Spoilers
When Fred Johnson spaces the big Belter after his attempt to find the fifty more with combat experience, the man falls downward after the airlock cycles. (Proving that the stuntman fell down onto the crash-cushions that are used in all "falling" stunts)

In real space, the man would be pushed outwards and away from the airlock; indicating that the air "blew him out" of the airlock (never SUCKED OUT!). Since there isn't any up or down in space, the man would appear to simply float directly away from the station.

The show has already proven that the producers know of this effect, since they have previously shown people being forced away from a station in a direct line, (unless they are on a ship which is under power), so it must have just been a single oversight, not a problem with the science.
