I'm still wondering how he managed to alter the files Ballard found so quickly.
I would guess he did it before he killed Kepler.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
My theory was always that he slashes what isn't real.
Or that he's insane.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
He just likes slashing.
He made some comment about it making Victor unique, no? I assumed that was the reason for the MO: create an indelible uniqueness, something that can't be overwritten.

Once again I was glad to be unspoiled.
I liked the episode but, was it my cold-blocked ears or was AT really hard to understand at times? I feel like I missed a lot of dialogue this episode.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I kept wondering why he didn't slash himself, then.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hmmm...interesting question. I could see some sort of philosophical "I created myself, but I cannot make myself unique" or "I made myself. Here, let me help you get started." I don't love either of those, though...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think Alpha is using his ability to imprint -- so he needs to blend in

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Right. I know that's a/the logistical reason. I'm wondering if there's a philosophical one (or a philosophical justification)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
He knows he's unique, he overcame the imprinting or something, he doesn't need an outward mark, the mark of his uniqueness is to be left on others like a signature. If it helps them find their own uniqueness, well, that's nice, but it's hardly his goal.

Something else I like about this episode - the photo Paul and Loomis pull up at the FBI of Kepler. Alan looks so completely harmless and goofy in that photo.
