The Taelons introduce interdimensional travel to human customers, but the Resistance is suspicious of their motives.

***When Augur is checking the names of everyone who has used the Taelon travel system, the first name displayed on the screen is "Kirshner, David", one of the executive producers of the show! Hmmm, wonder what other familiar names are on the list? :)

***i watched Through the looking glass with my boyfriend, and to find out the Tealons are experimenting on humans as well as Boone's own sister would have put me to say something to them.....I mean Da'an wanted him to investigate cause she had her own feelings with Zo'or and might be doing something wrong with those interdimensional portals...I think Da'an might have founf out that Sarah was involved and that is why Boone was called in, otherwise i think Boone would not have had any idea that Sarah was impregnated by the Taelons. but to do a sick thing like that makes my stomach turn.. and he last part when they were getting ready to go into the portal with that guy?(can't remember his name) and he lands in L.A.???? that was cool!!!!

***What kind of sick game are the Taelons playing with Sarah Boone and all the other experiments they've performed on humans? As of this movement I am a fan who sides with the Liberation Movement. The plot really thickened in THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, didn't it?

***They have lost something in the evolutionary path that they have taken. They think that humans have what they need. They will subjugate us to get it the same way that they have done to the Skrill race. If you ever had any doubts about this, they should be gone now.

***Did anyone else notice that Da'an no longer trust Sandoval? This is possibly Da'an's fault to. He has been pushing Sandy aside for so long that it's no wonder Sandy has gone over to Zo'or's side.

***I think that Da'an KNOWS Sandoval very well (Sorry Goddenport). Sandy follows "the big dog". Remember before Zo'or came that Sandy was the lap dog of Da'an. It is his CVI that defines him. The Taelons must now know that Boone is different.

***THere's another queestion that needs answering. What's with all these experiments and what is the Taelon agenda for humanity? I was really hoping that they wouldn't turn out to be some kind of malovalent species but the series is headed in that direction. What of the Sleeper? Are the Taelons themselves the Sleeper?

We may be the sleeper.

***The sleeper? Makes me think of something undiscovered in humanity.

***Finally! The Companions true colors are showing through. I get so upset finding out how much Sandoval knows about the Taelon agenda and Boone being kept in the dark. When they end up on the Mother ship, Sandoval knows his way around, but Boone is totally amazed when he realizes where he is after seeing the Earth out of the porthole.

***Actually, I got the impression that Sandoval was rather stunned, too, when he saw Earth through the porthole.

***It's like pulling teeth for Boone when he asks questions and only gets half answers back from Sandoval, Zo'or and even Da'an.

***Isn't Zo'or holding something over Sandoval to make him do his every bidding? Seems to me I remember a threat. I'm going to have to go back and watch past episodes. (Such a hardship. )

***Good point. Zo'or IS CONSTANTLY threatening him into submission. I agree, there's got to be something really big he's holding over Sandoval's head.

***It is all in Sandovals head, like in his CVI.

***Zo'or is constantly testing Boone too. For example, using Sarah to expose Boone's true motives. The tension is so high. Boone looks like he is about to snap at any moment!

***Yes!!! I really liked this scene, too. You could just feel the tension coming through the screen.

***I am so relieved that Da'an is mad at Zo'or and ending up helping the Resistance as a result of his trying to make Zo'or look bad. Poor Sahjit, what would the Taelons of done to him, if Da'an hadn't saved him?

***Da'an has really stepped over the line on this one, into the Resistance. I cheered out loud!!

***After the initial shock, I did too.

***Da'an has the interest of the Taelon race at heart, but maybe not THIS GROUP of Taelons! I still think that this group is a rogue faction.

***This is definitely one of my favorite episodes so far.

***I agree. I wish there would've been more Lili, though. The big problem I have with that mode of transportation is that it sort of makes the Lili's shuttle unnecessary, doesn't it? ...unless the Taelons can't travel by that mode themselves. It's something to think about.

***That's a good point, but I suppose you can only have so many of those "Portal" stations set up. If you wanted to go to Paduca, KY you'd need the shuttle.

***LOL!!! Yeah. I guess I had never thought of it that way before. Maybe that's a good thing. I'd really hate to lose Lili's shuttle.

***Another great observation. I would think that the shuttle will still be necessary to "get around town" though. I noticed in the previews that they showed a Taelon using a portal. This must mean that the Taelons do use them.

***I am not sure that the Taelons would use something like this. I noticed that when the little boy appeared at the terminal, the pad was not stuck down to the floor very well. "Welcome aboard Rinky Dink Transport."

***In TTLG, were they on the mothership or moon colony? My daughter brought up the point that the colony was built on the other side of the moon, out of sight from Earth. Since we saw the Earth through a porthole in the scene with Boone, Sahjit and Sandoval, it made me think that they were on the mothership. BUT...the room looked like it had rock walls...Hmmmmm.

***As they were looking out, we were in a position to look back at them from above. You got to see the surrounding of what ever it was that they were in. There were rocks in the background. That was not a ship, in the classic sense, it was a building. The first shot that we were shown of this structure, as seen from the stolen shuttle, has the colony just on the dark side of the terminator. If the structure were tall enough, you could look just over the moon horizon and see a crescent earth.

Sandy was stunned by the view, but not surprised. The astronauts that have been there all report that the first view of the earth over the moon horizon is stunning even when you know what you are going to see.

***I'm so upset!!! It appears that "Infection" may not be aired next week. This is just so terrible because it puts a big gap in the plot line. I read a detailed spoiler on the episode and it looks like it is very pivotal to our understanding what's going on.

***Of course I am P O'd, but that is better than the alternative. "Better to be pissed off, than on." I am pissed off at the delay and disorder caused by moving "Infection" into the summer. I will feel pissed on if there is no second season!

***My favorite quote snips are from the scene when Da'an and Zo'or are discussing Zo'or's screw ups:

Zo'or: "A crisis has been averted..."
Da'an: "And what of the next crisis? And the next?"
Zo'or: "There will be no repetition of this nature"
Da'an: "You uttered those precise words when the last aberration occurred."

Later in the conversation:

Zo'or: Does the synod question my stewardship of the portal project?"
Quo'on: "No...the Synod supports your work... at the moment."

***Yeah. Good quotes.

***(This episode renamed by me: "Looking At The Stupid Ass" - Zo'or) Due to the nature of Zo'or, this show gets a SE-25 ( no one under 25 should watch this show without someone stupid and evil accompanying them.)

***LOL! Too funny! Don't know what the Taelons have in mind for us, but it's something, otherwise they could just dispose of us at any time.

***Now I can't wait for the next episode, "Infection"!!! (not renamed and rated by me yet)

***They're just getting better and better.

***OK, will someone help me out on this?

***I'll try

***After thinking about this past episode, I realized that some things didn't quite make sense to me. When did the implantations take place?

1. People are scanned before entering the portal and at this point are determined by the Taelons if they are worthy of an implant. ("The key...intelligence")

2. While the people are in the portal, they are not allowed to touch each other during transit. (Good rule - I'd hate to arrive sooner than my hand did at the other end of the trip) I know, I know...it was also because "some" people didn't arrive at their destination at the same time either.

***1 and 2 = right on the money here

***3. The chosen ones end up in a Taelon facility on the moon, partially covered in "slimy plastic wrap". (At least they still had their clothes on ) They are in a standing position in some sort of comatose state. I was preparing myself at this point to get all grossed out at seeing people being implanted with CVIs like Boone was. It never happened. I never observed anyone being implanted with a CVI or impregnated with some Taelon hybid baby. Boone and Zo'or were standing next to Sarah the entire time she spent in the facility before she vanished again. I never observed a Taelon removing her baby. Or did they do that later at the hospital (See, I told you that I'm confused)

***Well, me too come to think of it. The first time that Boone used 4201, there were no naked Taelons.

***All I ever saw were glowing Taelons observing the humans up close and one on guard duty overhead. So when did they do these implantations/experiments on the humans? Did these people continue onto a lab for their procedures? Was 4201 the lab? And was it also located in this same facility?

***I think that it must have been in a different spot, on earth likely. That must be where Sarah went to "have the job done."

***I thought that Sarah did not willingly have her baby removed. But maybe that's not what you meant. :-)

***I think Sarah firmly believed that the child was hers and not the Taelon's and that she really didn't want to lose it.

***Yes, Sarah was very upset about not carrying the baby anymore. She told Boone that she didn't care what he said, but she knew it was hers.

***I'm not sure why they continued to transport people into that facility in space while Boone & Sandy were there--actually, I do know--it's because else the story couldn't have worked like it did, w/ Boone seeing Sarah there!! :-) All I can figure is that the Taelons sure wouldn't want to be implanting people for Boone & Sandy to see, so they just sent them on their way w/out doin' anything to them.

***I got the feeling that the moment Zo'or found out that Sarah was planning to go through the portal again, he instructed Sandoval to call Boone, find out where he was ( Boone was in the terminal) and then whisk him off to that facility. Remember how Sandoval apparently knew where he was going. It was all a set up by Zo'or to test Boone while in the presence of his sister being experimented on.

***I wonder if Sandoval knew what was going on. He certainly had knowledge of the facility, if not what was going on there, because he knew its 'addresss'.

***How did Dr. Walkin fit in the picture? I need someone to interpret this show for me. I also need to rewatch it again!!

***He was a human scientist working on the transport for the Taelons. My question is: When Boone went to the lab using code 4201, how did he get back? Hmm?

The message is don't trust a Trojan public transport system, especially when the Trojans are Taelons!

***What IS this the Taelons' fascination with the Boone family? First of all William Boone is selected for implantation by Da'an- hand picked so to speak. Next we have the Taelons conducting an experiment on Will's little sister and she is carrying a third Boone, a boy, whom they steal from her womb. The Boones have definitely caught the attention of the Taelons.
