Really loved this episode. Jack is my new woobie, for sure.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

ooh, all this dust and dander in the room... *sniffles*
loved loved loved the pace and tone of this ep. All the focus on the relationships, really taking the time to let it sink in all that will be lost, and possibly never reached again.
I began grinning the moment Allison said "then I'll buy the coffee" and I shouted "They have a thing!"
Ooh, hey, was that a GD logo spinning on the screen of the evil consortium dudes computer after he finished talking to Bev?
I need some Claritin... *sniffle*

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, this is the new Jack, yeah? Which would mean that he'd be a lot less clueless now.

ooh, yes, along with coming back knowing that Henry would try to save Kim and knowing of his life with Allison, yeah, he'd know...things. Or maybe the knowledge fades?

Taggert, Lupo, Spencer, Allison... wow, ya know, it's definately Stark's turn. The trick is going to be stopping Ed from oiling himself down.
Now, we see the Lupo scene... I was wondering if I had somehow missed something. For fairness, I think Stark's definitely up next. I think the Taggert / Lupo thing works out surprisingly well. I like it.
Soo.... we're supposed to think that Jack remembers?
That could prove to be an interesting story line. I can only imagine how hard it would be to not interfere with the timeline. Though, it could also change the show in not so good ways. On the other hand, they could probably also explain it away very quickly by saying that by him going back and fixing time, things are not the same as what he remembers.

Well, it seems like he jumped his brain back into his 4-years-before body, or otherwise there would be two of them. I would think that once he kept Henry from changing the future, the "future" brain would disappear, leaving the previous Carter.
However, this might count as parallel universes, in which case the brian of the AU!Carter would now be stuck here permanently.

which could lead to a lot of "oh, wait, we never fought about that" and Carter getting confused and messed up. I'd prefer it if he forgot for the most part, remembering things when his memory is jogged, and being an idiot trying to get "back" on track with Allison.

No matter how you look at this, it would seem that there are some time paradoxes here.

Yeah I gotta go with you on that one. Just the act of going back to save the guy who went back has got to do the damage that the first guy who went back did.... if you know what I mean.
Unless small changes are "mendable" damage.
YAY!! Made it though a season!!!!! YAY!!! I'm so glad it's done....
...and we got our pick up today. The official announcement will be tomorrow. We'll probably be doing another 13 for next summer.
Thanks for the kind words by the way - I was a bit of a zombie during this week. And I'd say I was really nervous - but I always say I'm really nervous.
