What hardened cowboy is going to do that? And for all i know, disturbing poison ivy or oak might (?) throw off airborne particles that could cause a rash. So, i would not have changed that if i were the director. The main point of the scene was to prove the main statement that only 59% of them will survive the journey. As to elsa duttons actor "over-acting" - she is the central narrator so she is set up to be innocent and there is a foreshadowing of peril and near doom for her. ( she does have an acquaintanceship with a native american weapon in episode 2) she did not overact there. I always have trouble seeing over-acting in any movie - maybe that's just me?
I was only able to see episodes 1 and 2 because we don't have paramount plus. We get regular paramount so maybe i should try harder to see if i can get episode 3 or more future ones? But my general rating for episodes 1 and 2 is that it is great - dramatic, authentically realistic, and very much action. I don't ever expect more in a series. Ps 1883 is great, but "the expanse" is even greater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the expanse is so intelligent that most would need the martian mind expander on forbidden planet.
Likewise interstellar for those who are mind building for the mental olympics
or the time dimensional travel of arrival.
Bon appetit
