I just want to know what happened to poor Oskar.

They’ve already made lots of bizarre leaps of logic. For Moll to have found them they would have had to figure out the 5th clue. Then they would have had to find them on Trill, figured out what they were doing and dressed appropriately, all while no one paid any attention. Of course, only a handful of people (if they’re smart) on Discovery knows where the next clue is. So what you do is tell Zora the location, wipe that part of your memory and lock away the two pieces you have in some technobabble quantum vault for umpteen years, until Moll gives up/is arrested/dies. With two pieces of the puzzle secured, one of which is the only clue to the next location, you literally have all the time in the universe to proceed. You don’t need this technology immediately to solve some crisis and its been safe for 800 years - its not going anywhere… and Moll literally cannot find it if you don’t look for it.

It was strange there was no "Previously..." recap at the start of the season - or not that I saw - I had forgotten like half the plot threads. Story line was OK, although I detest "higher up refuses to listen or even consider main character's story" plotlines. Pablo's physique is still ridiculous. In a good way. I presume it means we can't discuss the various plots of the video game series.

She had a vague upper Midwest accent, maybe Minnesotan. They were living in Iowa, so she’s probably from the region.

All I want to know is how Margo got away from her KGB handler and (most likely) hidden NSA or FBI monitor to meet up with Sergei… I’m going to bet Kelly finds life on Mars, that seems like where her story is headed.

Seriously! There are clearly some things they've been instructed to play up for the cameras: their "elimination" by dye pack, their "disappointment" / "frustration" when the staff enter to announce a new game, their "surprise" / "disbelief" when the number of players eliminated is shown/counted down, etc.

Yes, she lied. She picked Roland, not Amanda as she said. I wish 016 and 451 had noticed the total panic-pause she took trying to think up another name.

That's what I don't understand either; without He Who Remains, the Sacred Timeline is always going to be branching, everywhere, all at once. Further, I thought S1 established that nexus events had to be reset before they went past the red-line, at which point they were no longer prune-able. So, it's a bit unclear how they were able to prune 80% or whatever of the branches all of which had past the red-line. And I'm not even sure I understand what the Time Loom is or does. Time, as a force, would have existed before Kang and his Variants came into existence, and yet, He Who Remains built the Loom Chamber to do...what exactly? Weave the fabric of Time only onto the Sacred Timeline?

If it was in her head, Jacen would "hear" it by connecting to her emotions / mind. However, that wouldn't explain how Hera could hear it - unless Jacen was acting as a conduit of sorts.

While I may be wrong, I always assumed The Snap referred to the moment when folks disappeared, whereas The Blip referred to the time they returned (and maybe the years in-between). But, yeah, most folks would refer to the event as the Blip now, since it’s over.

I thought I saw Pelia gave her a kind of sly smile when she saw her come on the bridge.

Why did the episode end on a shot of Juliette’s reaction to George’s file? Did it show something that we were supposed to be surprised by because I didn’t notice anything.

I thought perhaps they said that because Jordan shook it off and healed himself relatively quickly. Of course it still doesn’t jive with how Superman was dealing with three beams at once, and only a single blast knocked Jordan down.

The Praetorian Guard; last seen in The Last Jedi guarding Snoke / getting beaten by Rey and Kylo.

I’m not sure I follow Imperial rank structure; wouldn’t a Commander outrank a LT?

In my mind I assumed it was supposed to be the Galleria; the interior looked similar and its the closest mall to the North End (which is where I assume the QZ is mostly located).

I'm not sure whether that's supposed to be Picard's son or someone else's. Or whether he's some genetic experiment/clone type situation. Bevery cut everyone out of her life 20 years ago, per Picard - but the actor playing her "son" is 35 years old. So, either she's been hiding him almost as far back as her time on the Enterprise, or he's supposed to be younger than he appears, or he could have been adopted as a younger child/teen. That said, in TNG season 2 Beverly was away from the Enterprise serving at Starfleet Medical, so that actually aligns with the actor's age... although no idea why she would keep him a secret from everyone.

What... you've never hiked or camped in the Waltham Mountains? 😄

Both of those things drove me crazy. Like, you were throwing up snakes dude - why is that something you would keep from your friends!? I would be running around telling anyone who would listen, because that's horrific.

Have they ever explained how the QL team remembers the original timeline once Ben changes the past? Like the web pages about the girl’s death disappeared when she lived instead of died, but Ian still remembered what had happened originally.

I’m still not sure why the Empire would need prison labor to build... something… when droids or simple machinery would do it non-stop with no productivity issues. Although it would be something if the job of another floor was to disassemble the gizmo this floor put together, creating a never-ending pointless loop.

No, that was a “preventative” tea. There would be no need to question her, comfort her and then pay her off if Alicent wanted her out of the way. Alicent is keenly aware her son is awful, she said as much to him.

They are first cousins, once removed on the Targaryen side and are presumed to be first cousins on the Valeryon side… which seems pretty tame for this family.

They never went into detail about how the plan was set up, just that Daemon gave Qarl money for them to fake Laenor’s death and peace out.

The genetics are interesting, but we did see an example of a dark haired Targaryen not that long ago…. so it happens. And Targaryen genes cannot by hyper dominant or all those extra Targaryen princes and princesses over the years would have added a lot of white blond descendants throughout the various great houses of Westeros.
