I'm going a little on memory, but did they say that humans are the "missing link" between the Jaridian and Taelons or a "missing link" in both (or same depending on your viewpoint, since the jaridian's and taelon's were the same race once) of their pasts. Also, this year it was established that contact with Earth was causing the Taelon's energy to drain away. Why wasn't M'ael affected? He seemed to be on Earth for a long time. Why is Sandoval changing alliances all of the time? What is his real agenda, and does he have a moral imperative anymore? If he doesn't, why? Well, next week here comes the Jaridians and Lily....

If Andrea is reliving false memories, then why isn't she curious that she see's herself from a third person perspective?

Okay was I the only one who was confused by this? The computer reveals that Andrea's really Emma King, then Liam says that he spoke to Emma's roommate about the death of her husband. Now since they thought she was Andrea, Liam should have said Andrea's roommate or Andrea's husband, as it's unlikely that Liam would be speaking to the roommmate of a woman believed dead for 3 years.

NANJAO. Sandoval orders the room destroyed and the Volunteer fires a missile into the room that produces a very big fireball. I would hate to be the person who had the room above Emma's. Not mention the adjoining rooms.

Okay, considering the size of the fireball and the possibility of a full scale fire resulting from this, how was the volunteer able to enter the room so quickly and determine that Emma & the artifact were not there? Did they wait a few minutes then fire a fire extinguisher missle?

This is the first date Philip's been on in 3 years. Except that when you go out with your wife it is not usually called a date. So who was Philip dating 3 years ago while he was still married? ;-)

Where would Emma download the information from? The artifact?

How could she afford the cost of the 8300 model computer? Pinch some of the Taelons' gold before she left the ship?

Liam says that Ma'el's research proves that humans are the missing evolutionary link between Taelons and Jaridians.
Interesting statement, since Humans evolved on Earth, not the Taelon homeworld. (Unless the true Taelon homeworld was also Earth & even then that's stretching it.)
Although it does tie with the Kimera belief that all life is linked and part of the greater whole. (All life is star stuff is a relatively recent Human belief since the elements that make up humans and other life forms was 'birthed' in stars.)
I suppose a more accurate statement would be that Humans are at that evolutionary point where we could diverge and become like the Taelons & the Jaridians, or choose to take one evolutionary path or the other. Although it sounds like Humans will somehow be necesary to reunite the divergent evolutionary paths of Jaridians and Taelons. (Wasn't this how The Dark Crystal ended?)

So why bring Philip to resistance HQ? Why send Philip & Emma into hiding?
Andrea has been reported as dead. Change Emma's hair, maybe some plastic surgery, a false identity. She and Philip can pretend to date and eventually marry without going into hiding like rats.
Philip's comments about working 24 hours a day and not going on a date for 3 years indicates that he doesn't have any close friends to distract him from work or fix him up with blind dates.
He stays at arms length from the Taelons in his dealings so there seems to be little risk of her bumping into a Taelon, or Sandoval. Plus they would have Philip, in charge of a corporation, greatful to the Resistance for bringing his wife back from the dead, so to speak.
Causing him to disappear without a trace doesn't seem like a good option.

Scott: Possibly the Taelon energy drain may have been something engineered by Ma'el, so he wasn't affected.
Sandoval's immediate agenda is probably staying alive. ;-)
