When Liam and Renee were entering the complex we see Liam throw dust onto a laser that was at the bottom of the door. They step over and go their merry way. I though it was interesting that he did not bother to check to make sure they did not have another laser at head level or waist level.

Augur appears to be wearing the same shirt that he wore at the end of last week's show.

I think you're right about the Augur shirt thing. I kept thinking that it was a good thing Lili couldn't get a hold of anyone with that global, since the CVI they inplanted in her was a camera and they'd have seen who she talked to.

One of these days they ought to dissect Sandoval
just to see how that devious little mind of his
works.

Was it just me,or did it seem to anyone else that
the entire scheme was all Sandoval's idea and
for once Zo'or had nothing to do with it?

Or am I just getting a bit paranoid about
Sandoval?

My VCR ran out of tape - how did the last 15 minutes of the show end?

I was finally able to see this one last night. Not bad. Well actually pretty good. I like the fact our adventures this season to be more Earth bound. I think it gives the story better grounding in reality. I loved the end with everyone playing football/rugby while the Volunteers keep marching by. Although I think they should be gone, martal law is over. Taelons should stop partoling the US.

Even bums have globals now.

Since when does Sandoval have an apartment?
Season One established that he moved into the embassy after he was implanted(so did Boone for that matter). Now he spends almost all his time on the Mothership with Zo'or and only comes to Earth to harrass people. So why does he need an apt? And why scribble the names of the detainees on his desk? Shouldn't that info be in a computer password protected in a secure place? I have no problem with Renee pretending to be a hooker to break into Sandoval's apt to steal the info but with everything we know about Sandoval it was way too convenient.


By John on Monday, October 25, 1999 - 7:20 pm:

You're right Scott. Sandoval was definitely acting on his own this time.
Amos you're right. The Volunteers should be back on the Mothership where they belong. Martial law is over...or is it?

Finally saw this one.

How did that security guard get his job? If it's a secure building, no one should be allowed up with being verified.

So why didn't Renee wear gloves when she was poking around in Sandoval's?

When she put the doohickey in Sandoval's computer it said TSR Program. What does Dungeons & Dragons have to do with the Taelons? ;-)

Amazing that with the whole opening to drop her dogtags out of, Lili manage to find the one spot where they are bound to hook on something.

Why was Lili worried about Sandoval seeing the dogtags through the window? Did she forget that her eyes have been turned into a camera and that somebody might have been watching the monitors?

If Lili's blood is now black, shouldn't her skin color be darker, or at least the skin over her veins & arteries?

Liam says the "epicenter" of our search. The epicenter is the spot on the surface of the Earth over the point where the earthquake is really centered. (Maybe Liam thought she was underground?)

I should have thought it would be easier to find the building, since they knew about the steeple. Building records should indicate what way the steeple is facing, and the angle of the steeple face in the picture should indicate a direction. The height of the steeple could have been used to determine which floor the picture was taken from.

Liam & Renee enter the building without any masks or gloves.

Really, really amazing that the dogtags were still stuck after the explosion had knocked the window frame out of the building.

TSR is a computer. It stands for Terminate Stay Resident. In other words you run the program and it stays active after it is closed.

Good to see that their fancy new OS is still based on MS-Dos. Hahahaha.

Well, no wonder the public accepts the Taelons so easily. Human minds are obviously addled by an inferior computer system. ;-)
