Sure, def, if they'd had time to adjust to the new possibilities (we'll see what happens S7, though with so few left... maybe moot).

Russel seemed to be more in reaction mode when he chose the new host though, possibly as close to panic as that character can get. Speculative obv, but his power structure & family were slipping away from him quickly; he mostly seemed most motivated by making sure he could at least resurrect his remaining family ASAP. So still not in a position to be too choosy at the time, given the imminent threats. There was possibly also an element of revenge on Clarke, and self-justification was def implied ("she won't recover anyway, so it's ok").

The psychology of the Primes was a great element of S6 IMO. The series had explored so many angles of "is killing a bunch of randos ok if it saves my loved one(s)?" This was a nice twist, because based on a different sort of survival.
