Fun episode. It was fun seeing Elisibet's husband. I was surprised, though, when he really did turn out to want to join the Commonwealth. I was expecting something much more devious (though I'm sure his reasons for joining are less than pure).

Speaking of, did Tyr give him another gun after he emptied his first one into the ugly blue guy? Or did his "empty" gun suddenly get new charges when the white thing came around the corner?

I thought Andromeda was unusually casual about not being able to track Ms. Carrot (Can't remember her name). I'd have expected her to be much more unhappy about it--and to connect that with Harper's sudden curiousity about teseracts. Also, doesn't Andromeda monitor pretty much everything on the ship? Like, for example, Harper's long conversations with a certain untrackable reporter?

Is is just me or does the guy who plays the Perseid sound like Andrew Robinson (Garak - DS9)?

Jessica, The Archduke pulled a 2nd gun out from under his jacket/cape at the small of his back.

Why do they all act like there is only one copy of the All-Systems Commonwealth Library?

I thought Elisibet had enough of her reproductive system removed so that she couldn't get pregnant? Did I mishear something in The Honey Offering?

I voiced the same concerns under "Bunker Hill", so you're not the only one. Personally, I think it's a really bad brainfart.
