As big a fan of the show as I am, I have to admit this wasn't a particularly good episode. While the feral men plot did produce some good bits (like the guy in the neck cone) it could have been executed better.

What part of valid launch order from a valid source are you having trouble with?

Yes, I know that. But the way they set up the situation, there was no good reason for him to disobey that order (I explained why above).

POI is one of my few "must see" shows this fall. There are so many loose threads from last season (Reese's old partner for example) that they have plenty of story material.

For those of us who have actually served in the U.S. military, yes it is the one thing too much to accept when the captain disobeys the exact order he's been trained to carry out (launch missiles upon receipt of a valid launch order).

I've ranted about this enough on the O-deck so the short version of my problem with the show is that the captain should have fired the missiles. He had no reason to second guess the launch order, which was valid and came from a valid source. There are any number of legitimate reasons for using the secondary channel…

I'm really just hoping they're staying with the somewhat grounded in reality concept and don't go down the Wrath of Khan or the Stargate body switch/possession routes.

I only caught Dani using her power because I had just looked her up during a commercial break (I couldn't remember what her actual Alpha ability was).

In all three SyFy shows I've seen Kathleen Munroe in something Very Bad (death 2 out of 3 times) has happened to her character. If she shows up on Warehouse 13 I'll just start the death clock right off the bat.

This episode seemed like they used The Lazy Writer's Guide. I knew every twist before it showed up (which usually doesn't happen). As soon as Danielle hopped on the motorcycle with Hicks for no good reason (other than the writers needed her to be at the bomb site) I knew she was dead.

I couldn't figure out what the hand holes were for until I found this picture.

Holy crap! There really is a galactic barrier.

Prince of Darkness! I haven't seen that in over 20 years. Time to check Netflix.

That's not the decision I was talking about. I meant his earlier decision right after receiving orders. He was wrong and the Chief of the Boat was right. I wrote about this a few times on the O-deck already (you can look up my comment history on my profile) so I won't go into it again here.

Bah! That video is over 5 minutes!

The Last Resort? Really?

Similar ideas, different points of historical divergence.

Cool! I really like this one.

Mikhail had lost his legs back in 1948 at the Fifth Battle of Kharkov. His new mechanical legs had an unfortunate tendency to seize up in the cold but at least the power plant on his back kept him warm.

Unfortunately a quick Google search revealed that Electric Jellyfish, Electric Pixies, and Electric Elves are already taken as band names.
