John gets reinstated! RAC bureaucracy is forever hilarious to me. Also funny, Johnny in no fucks left to give mode. "Her name was Pawter and she was murdered" ugh too many feelings.

Seyah Kendry, reminding everyone that she's the goddamn queen in this joint. It's fun to see her in an uncertain situation after two years of her ruling Qresh, lol at her insisting on talking to batshit Aneela. Good luck with that, Seyah. Hannah John-Kamen's Aneela accent is great. And her intense little face. I am his only daughter! Someone's jealous.

Telen was too distant to have post-slide rule math technology? ha that is a great detail.

Oh good it's our annual horror trope episode. Worshipping gods that are actually humans infected by a parasite? This is the second ep in a row giving me Stargate SG-1 vibes.

D'avin is indeed having memory loss? And freaking out over losing control of himself, again. Idk if this was the right time to bring up the stabbing incident, Johnny. *wants to give D'av and his cute chin a hug"

But you get to choose - I love the ongoing theme of personal choice. But also themes of vengeance this season, apparently. Aneela, Delle Seyah - even Johnny's vengeance quest is not technically complete.

Is D'Avin really having memory loss? Or is there another D'Avin out there doing all these things? He did spend time in that lab experiment on Aarkan. Maybe they made a Hullen copy of him.

Hmmn, idk! My understanding of it was that D'avin and everyone else accepted it was him, hence Johnny giving him that terrible pep talk. The theory given during the ep was that Khlyen had used the mind link to give him secret orders before he died, and the mind link would only go to this version of D'avin that we saw the body swap with last year, I would think.

There was also the DNA detail, though clones would have the same DNA, so hmmn. I guess it's not impossible. Poor D'av has been fucked with a lot. Maybe we'll get clarification next week. If it is sleeper commands, I hope there aren't any more. This team has been through enough, hee.

Wow, I don't remember any of that from last season. Cleary I must re-watch the whole thing. What a hardship... *g*

Good episode! I liked it better than last weeks. You're right about the SG-1, with the alien parasites taking over as gods.
