They seemingly can't even build steam engines.   How the hell are they synthesizing the requisite chemicals for photography?

This story would have been better as a multi-episode arc with procedural beats to even out the pacing issues.  It would have made the betrayals and reversals more credible, and made Dani's death more distressing.  Also where's Kat?

Kathleen Munroe's characters always seem to have it rough.  Any predictions on what the dying empathic flash with Nina means?  Mine is that Dani interprets Nina's "do not die" to mean transferring her memories/consciousness into Nina.  Which curiously resembles the fate of KM's Stargate Universe character.

Stanton seems to be more of a speed chessmaster, rather than carefully plotting out his plan.  It makes sense, given his immortality, that he would tend to take risks rather than carefully gaming out every scenario.  His long view of time perhaps also makes him more tolerant of short-term downside risk.  He's patient…
