There’s not a cruise ship out there that can perform the complicated stuff they do on this ship.  Not surgery like they did on tonight’s show, nor most of the fantasy stuff they show.  And FYI, cruise ships do not allow pregnant women on a ship if they’re past a certain number of weeks.  And they require a letter from the woman’s obstetrician telling them how many weeks she’s at.

Then

 

Seeing that they do you would expect that there should be some scrubs and crocs to change into for surgery. Not that I didn't appreciate Avery providing eye candy for the male gaze.

Ripped straight from the telenovelas, as soon as you have sex with the other guy too, I'm pregnant. Third time, with crewmates, for Tristen

I felt that this episode was way more obvious than most that this ship is somehow tied to the afterlife or death. When the woman at the end of the episode said that she wanted to just stay on the odyssey and go around one more time, Max told her she couldn’t and that she had to get off and he was bathed in a glowing white light above her like a vision that someone would see on their deathbed.

This appeared to be the show's attempt to get serious, rubber duckies notwithstanding. Long, long scene of Avery with her gal pals about her pregnancy. I think the show has seriously overestimated my interest in Avery though.

Tristan's accent is neither Venezuelan nor Scottish. Nor was his mother's. I have no idea where this guy is actually from.

I'm not overly familiar with Joshua Jackson's other work. Dawsons Creek was a bit after my time. I know he's a big draw for a lot of fans though. I'm not sure why. The man has no upper lip whatsoever. Do people think that's sexy? Weird.

There's too many jokes in that line... (I know it's a misprint).

Must be from the network, my cable showed the same typo.  Having gone to a Quaker Secondary School I was confused as to the duck connection [/kidding!]

The actor who plays Tristan was born and raised in London.  I just watched this episode, not 100% paying attention, but I don't think he said he was born in Venezuela?  And he said he only went to school in Scotland.  He could be trying to do a mixed accent of nondescript origin on purpose.  

Dr. Pacey has a small upper lip, and yes - he's sexy.  Men with big plump lips look weirder, IMO.  Many of us in the same age bracket as him literally grew up with him - he was Charlie in the Mighty Ducks movies as a kid in the early 90s, then Pacey, then on other shows like Fringe and The Affair.  

 

This episode was rather boring, again.  I was too distracted by the actress who played Adele on Grey's Anatomy, thinking that she was Adele.  I suppose it's her distinctive voice, and that I've never seen her in anything else.  I also thought there would be more to Tristan and Viv being quarantined together, but I guess they just let that one drop.  And, no judgment, but Tristan gets around...
