[S01.E05: What on Earth Is Wrong?]

 

But I don’t get it. Sparks himself confirmed the pregnancy to Molly. Does he want her to think she just hallucinated that?

Sure he does. She already conceded that she was hallucinating when she saw the brother the night of her party. That's why she called him and agreed to accept his help. So it's not that big of a leap for him to claim she hallucinated the conversation with him about the pregnancy.

Was it just me, or did a significant scene seem to be missing around this issue? Molly and Sparks had multiple conversations about the pregnancy. Wouldn't they have a conversation after she left the hospital, in which he explained to her that she had hallucinated all of that (or he was just going along with her delusion until he got her help, or whatever his story is) and she pretended to accept this story? How would Sparks know that Molly was now accepting that she had made up of the pregnancy? When they had their conversation at ISEA, it was like it had all been discussed previously.

Apparently, getting close to the baby makes people not only see dead people, but lose their damn minds!  I'm still wondering what Yasumoto wants with him.

Yasumoto has made a few references to that asteroid goo's healing capabilities. Maybe the asteroid goo is related to the SporeAliens, and he thinks he can get some healing from the baby - for whatever is going to kill him in ~100 days.

 

I have to say - Odin is YOWZA good-looking! There is no reason he should be wearing a shirt, at any time. Way to up the eye candy ante. I'm going to go with the general belief that he's not to be trusted since they are leaning so hard on Gummer's emotional vulnerability right now.

 

I'm in disagreement with all the anti-"John Woods" feelings. I like him and think he's a very loving, protective partner to Mollly, who's super annoying much of the time (Get a barette already - those Shetland Pony bangs are so irritating to look at!). I see his rude treatment of Miss Gummer as a married man trying to steer a young infatuated woman off of him and lay some boundaries when she clearly doesn't have any. I think he has gotten way too involved/emotionally attached to the Humanech project because he adopted Ethan, but that makes sense to me and also helps explain why he got all hierarchical with Miss Gummer recently.

 

I'm enjoying this show, though I do think Halle Berry's acting is subpar. I think everyone else is quite good. I will never look at Gordon again without thinking evil old Chandler Bing!
