I am leaving. You are about to explode. ~Teal'c, 'Talion'
Because if it is, I suppose we can only assume that the entire world ends up p-positive. That Jordan Collier wins.
Again, this is what I like about the show -- the underlying ambiguity about Collier's vision. Would it really be paradise on earth -- well, possibly. *If* everyone who is P+ is also a benign, altruistic presence wanting only to make things better. But then again, if we were all benign and altruistic we wouldn't need promycin or abilities to make a better world. And we all know that humans are -- sadly -- not all wonderful and that kind of power in certain hands would be indeed catastrophic. So maybe Collier's vision is ridiculously naive. Or maybe even quite evil and it's all a power play for an agenda that's not yet been revealed.
Heh. I hope we get to see, but I'm actually fairly happy with the open ending as well.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Rommie!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm wondering how many new nicknames Sheriff Grabass CFerg is going to have by the end of the episode.
Also, the whole ape thing? NOT TRUE FOR BONOBOS.

She rattled that crap off so fast, I'm going to have to go back and listen to it again. Bonobos are very different from common chimpanzees.

Yes indeed they are. The rattled-off crap was roughly "we're apes, and apes are all about the male dominance" -- so, yeah, bonobos, nsm.

Long setup. Cheap joke at the end. Still funny.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Not true for bonobos! I love bonobos. I wish we were more like them than chimps. OTOH, some of us are.
Speaking of which, is it just my hormones, or is Carter looking particularly fine this episode?
