Hiya Cferg -- while the 'science' annoyed, the characters and acting kept me there, so no worries. Good luck with the editing, which is hard enough work for a three minute vid, let alone a coherent episode!
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I think I was 6 and using my Hot Wheels when I discounted that as a viable truck design.
Oh CFerg, you are so totally one of us.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
CFerg! Long time no see (well okay I get to see you weekly, but that's not the same thing at all).
It's so cool that you are directing now. A whole new headache I suspect, but that can be good. I do hope that everything comes together in editing. I heard someone once describe himself as a post junkie because that was where everything comes together.

Compassionately intolerant
Defying Gravity: I hadn't heard that we were being left at all much less at THAT point.
I suppose I can be cosmopolitan and let go of my need for completion, but if that sort of cliffhanger isn't in a foreign film, I sort of resent it.
Plus, I'm annoyed that a total waste of screen time like Mental got a full run but shows that I actually like...well, fill in the rant.

I dunno, I'd rather be left with the Repo Man/Pulp Fiction cliffhanger and free to imagine the characters being snap-evolved into glowy space fetuses in keeping with the show's obsession with babies than have it cut off at some random point in the narrative.

Well now, I can't argue with that. Very good point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
cut off at some random point in the narrative
Feels like a random point in the narrative to me. All I know that I didn't before is that they get to look. Eh.
Time to move up north, and then to ABC HQ. Not my favourite of series, but I do really want to know where in the hell they were going with this.
I liked Wass and Paula this week. I liked Zoe and Donner this week. I though Jen was an idiot who deserved to fry in the radiation. It's an illegal rabbit that you didn't even remember the first time round, and you weren't even close to having enough time.

That's true... the "not without my babies!" reaction might make sense even in the face of certain death if actual children were involved, but a rabbit fetus and assorted cell samples are not worth dying of radiation poisoning for.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree. Complete nonsense.
And...correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't she have enough cell matter for more rabbits?

"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 gathered that her ova and sperm cell samples for future experiments might have been at risk too, but even so not worth frying over.
The fractal garden was the first example of Beta doing something big that completely defies the laws of physics, right? Hundreds of kilograms of new organic matter appearing out of nowhere would involve far more energy than that released by a nuclear bomb.
