Oh, ouch! Ouch ouch ouch!
Poor Duke! And poor Hafs, fighting with that thing and hearing what It says through her.

So he's not evading it or anything, he really is leaving active duty...  And Hafs seems like she isn't getting any better... She really is receding... Edit: So what's going to happen to the team? Duke is leaving active duty, Hafs has The Bug stuck inside her, and how stable are the others? Reyes? Lau? Even Faulkner will fall apart sometime... Also, do you think they'll be assigned a new technical analyst to "replace" Hafs? |

Well, we know he doesn't need a gun....
I wonder what the Thing meant by "betrayal." It knows what Hafidha does, and she knows lots of stuff she shouldn't.

My guess? Duke writes a book or article that exposes the existence of anomaloids to the general public. Or at least, more general than the higher-ups would like. |

you know, I've been wondering.
what made sol start chasing after the anomaly? did he convince reyes to join up? or was reyes already looking on his own?
what could make sol susceptible to the anomaly? what would his "crack" be?
bug called at least one thing right. with hafs in arkham, and sol turning in his license to kill, who is going to be the executioner?

I hate reading extras because too soon after I "get in" it's time to leave.
This season is beginning to feel like the second part of a trilogy... the part with all the tension and angst and ... well... flailing.

I fourth those ouches. I'm glad Sol is staying on as a consultant. I was fairly sure he wouldn't be able to give it up completely (Falkner and Lau are the only ones I can see maybe - just maybe - being able to walk away at some point), but I'm glad he will no longer be the team executioner. My guess? Duke writes a book or article that exposes the existence of anomaloids to the general public. Or at least, more general than the higher-ups would like.
That's what leapt to my mind, too. Which probably means that It meant something else entirely. zxhrue, the answer to your first question, at least, is in 'Smoke and Mirrors'. And bits of the second are implied in 'On Faith'. |

It was revealed in Act V of Smoke & Mirrors (2x07) that Todd began chasing after the anomaly after he experienced a gamma in breakthrough. Or at least that's what he says. |

Yeah, that'd be my guess, too. Or he has long conversations with some of his sf/fantasy writer acquaintances. Or the conversations started a few years ago and are continuing...  |

Well, if he didn't crack at Kent State... or when he wasn't in Vietnam... or when he lost his fingers... or in Jonestown... or, or, or.
Just what would it take to crack Sol? I think I'd rather not know, thank you very much. Also, if everyone who suffered a terrible trauma became a gamma (or beta, or any other Greek letter), there would be a lot more of them. We don't know why it happens to some people and not others, but it seems fairly clear that there is some form of reason for it. (Reason is a bad word, but I can't think of a better one right now.)
