Ah, our DVR cut off before the previews.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

It's totally cheating, ita, but it opens up a lot of possibilities for character development (Alison's character, I mean). All the changes are pretty clever from that standpoint.

Yeah, I was torn on the Kevin thing. Yes, a cheap and easy out from a drag of a storyline that had played out, but now that he's not a special Artifact!boy, they can actually stop forgetting he exists. --Is that even the same actor? I haven't seen him in so long I don't even remember what he looks like.

I was also annoyed by non-autistic Kevin. Also, didn't he say something about "Dad"? Which implies that Stark is alive? If so, odd that they'd hold off on making that explicit.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I thought he looked like the same kid, only older than we last saw him. and that was what 2 seasons ago?

Unless that's a big reveal sometime later. I'm not sure Alison has had time to think of that possibility yet.
Also, what did Kevin say to Jack during the early scenes? I'm totally memfaulting and sadly deleted the episode out of habit when it was over.

The last thing Kevin said to Jack before the throw-back-in-time was "The day's not over yet", I think. I can't remember what Jack said before that.

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

Stark isn't his father. Not that I heard him say "Dad." We don't know what he would have called him.

Callas was great, and he looked quite smart in that suit. Ooh, sexy as hell.
I agree that he looked fantastic, but I was a bit distracted by the way his accent kept shifing in and out. But yeah, I agree, I'd be happy if the guys dressed in those clothes all the time.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I was kind of pondering the possibility that Kevin sent them back into the past on purpose, because he needed it. Or because he needed to help his mom be ok.
