: : Bringing back PK Tech Girl (Joleen? I'm terrible with
: : secondary character names) was a good stroke. I sometimes
: : wondered if we'd ever see her again. I hate how so many love
: : interests come and go on popular TV shows. You'd think
: : people could run into each other again on occasion. And she
: : obviously still has it bad for John, even though he now seems
: : to be totally concentrating on Aeryn. Chiana picked up on
: : the vibes easily enough.: PK Tech Girl's name is Gilina. And not only was it a good idea
: to bring her back for the reason you mentioned, but with the
: whole John/Aeryn thing and the still kinda almost John/Gilina
: thing, they've set up a great conflict, that can end in a lot
: of ways. And did anyone else get the vibe from Chiana that she
: was purposely lying to Gilina about John and Aeryn, to save her
: own butt in case Gilina got really upset about it?
Gilina. Thanks. And, yes, Chiana was definitely milking the obvious concern for John. :)
: : I think having an unexpectd ally inside the complex was a
: : good idea, too, but what bothered me was that she seemed to
: : have too much access to high security systems. Also, after
: : John was captured, why didn't they initiate a search for
: : Chiana? The commander doesn't seem to have given her a
: : second thought until he saw her during the evacuation. This
: : is a high security base? Big oversight, guys. : I get the feeling Gilina is either, a) the head tech on the
: base, or b) a hacker. I tend to lean more towards b. And they
: did mention looking for Chiana and not being able to find her
: in one scene while John was in the Aurora Chair. I missed the reference to looking for Chiana. But I'm tired of seeing hackers have access to every system invented on television. It's just not realistic. : : What also struck me as odd was the fact there were no patrols
: : in the vicinity. Okay, it's a SECRET base. But still. No
: : listening outposts? No one floating around in an old
: : freighter waiting for signs of intruders? Moya just crept
: : right into orbit around that gas giant without anyone on the
: : base detecting her. How did she do that? How fast does the
: : ship travel through a star system? The base apparently never
: : got wind of her. : This bothered me too, until it hit me, what if they
: found or captured Moya right before, or while she was giving
: birth? Seemed like a stroke of genius after I saw next
: week's promo where Moya's giving birth. (get those baby clothes
: ready!) Someone still should have noticed a leviathan coming into orbit around the gas giant.
