a lot less drama
Exactly.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, yeah! I shouted at the tv during the death scene at Jack's self-involvement. Oh, gee, Jack, thanks for taking up so much time with your flagellation that Boone has to spend his whole death toll scene forgiving you, and doesn't have time to address anyone like, oh, his sister!
I was glad they didn't amputate. This whole episode was medical show squicky. Although I guess it went better than could be expected. I mean, really amazingly better, what with the middle-of-the-jungle without even the convenient not-dead doctor to help you out demon baby delivery.
Pretty cute for a demon baby.

Oh, no, the words "demon baby" have put Jack-Jack from The Incredibles into my head! Now I'm picturing Claire chasing the kid around with an extinguisher...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha.
I was, along with Claire, relieved to note that it seemed perfectly normal and healthy. I am sure, of course, that this is some set-up for some traumatic future development.
Of course, Jack-Jack looked perfectly normal and healthy, too, so...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, I don't think Claire would want to be without Jack & Sun, should something go wrong with Babyof DOOM.

That baby looked really young. Ever since Tim mentioned that newborns were usually played by preemies, I've been far more accepting of babies that seem to be a composed 12 or 13 pounds at birth.

I thought so too. I thought it might be one of the rubber prop babies but then it was moving around too much. I have a vague recollection of seeing a segment on Discovery about the company that makes the fake babies, body parts, etc and they are pretty realistic but not that much.

There was one shot where I definitely thought rubber baby (and not buggy bumpers) but otherwise, cute. Of course, when I thought it was a doll, I was sure that tentacles were going to spring out of its eyes or something, but no.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

I really don't find that anything to complain about; you aren't going to have an actual fresh from the womb newborn. I doubt it's a great idea for a brand new baby to be on set until they've gotten their immunities in gear, for one thing, and it probably takes a few weeks to arrange employment for your kid.
