OK, on second viewing the only thing that makes no sense to me is the goodbye scene between Boyd and Saunders (that's the same scene that was in E1, right?). Was he triggering her, or was something in him hidden that got triggered when she did, or...? It doesn't make sense if he was never going to really leave, as it seems from the way things went down in the lab at the end.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was thinking he changed his mind about leaving after he said goodbye.

I thought he left in order to lead in the troops. Which makes it even more confusing. And that she was punishing topher while also hindering resurrection of Caroline.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I skipped a few episodes (because not my show) but watched last night. One thing confused me: what was Boyd saying to Caroline in the big reveal scene? My memory was it was something about needing her in the doll house but that he'd take care of her because she's too special to risk, and that she could trust her life with him. Am I misremembering? Because otherwise I can't make sense of it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well that last bit was just the callback (call forward?) to the handler/imprint trigger phrase.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
in the io9 interview with Tim, a commenter mentioned how s/he would like to see Victor as Bennett. Of course, now that's all I want to see.

So it was deliberately out of context to evoke blurring of memories? OK, I'll buy that.

The stuff in the attic made me wonder - might Epitaph 1 all have taken place in the attic instead of the real world? It might explain that weird ending with the survivors going up into what looks to be the sunlight.

I can see it happening, Frank. Not sure how well I'm gonna like it, though. Good call.

Wacky theory, Frank. I like it! Although, I'd be surprised if that's what they were thinking when it was made.
