Joe Morton did a great job.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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

Stop punishing the interracial couple, people! Dead already! Sheesh.
Joe Morton's a hell of an actor though, indeed.

I knew Kim 2.0 wasn't going to stick around for long. SIGH. But, yeah, Morton sold it.
I think 'Science As We Know It' hit an all-time low for the show.

Our wings are not tired.
sniff I enjoyed the show. There was science?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Poor windsparrow was most annoyed at the "pure water" bit.
Also the compressible aspect.
She was also saying from the moment of the first drowning, "take a sample of the water!"
Spicy science brain.
Speaking of which, it's nice they aren't dismissing Carter's insights and ideas as much on the show.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I actually really enjoyed the ep all around for all the character bits. Carter's sadness over realizing that he wasn't naturally connected to Allison, and Allison's deliberate severing.... wonderfully harsh and bittersweet. I love how confused and in denial they both are and are trying to move on and keep up the illusion of "just friends".
Joe Morton had me crying at the end, I will not lie. I just really wish that Tamlyn could have been around for one more episode where she wasn't coming or going.
I'm a little nervous to ask, and I almost don't want to say until more eps are aired, but my question is "Why?". And maybe any answer would be a spoiler for future stories. But, as much as I was overjoyed to see Tamlyn Tomita and Kim 2.0, why bring her back? As wonderful as Joe Morton was in this episode, why put Henry through that?
Yes, I'm afraid that this is a one-off stand-alone exploitative blip. Did they really bring back TT last week so they could have a "cutting the umbilical cord/letting your old flames go (permanently?!)/ending an artificial relationship" this episode?

I enjoyed last night's ep a lot. I actually like Tess. The water scientist seemed weird and creepy; I liked her, too.

Belated comment on being human. Does Mitchell really believe the Mom will be able to handle the kid he turned? Or is he just OK with the kid killing her? The "I'm Hungry" line, and the fear that creeps across her face is perfect. So stupidity or badass revenge on Mitchell's part?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I choose to believe that Mitchell was still pissed over her rounding up the torch-bearing mob of villagers on his doorstep, and at least subconsciously did it out of spite as a sort of "let's give you something bigger to worry about than what's in your neighbors' video cabinet" gesture.

Oh, have I completely spaced on what happened to Allison's (and Nathan's, right?) son? Whose name I should be able to remember, but can't.
