S2E13 - Juxtaposition Paradoxical Dilemma


Who wouldn't want to meet their younger, hotter self? Think of all the things you can teach them and what to avoid. I thought older Kelly would tell younger Kelly not to cheat and older Ed would tell her that younger Ed is neglecting her and that if he doesn't change his ways, it would have negative effects on the relationship. Instead we just see them telling younger Kelly that it won't end well in the future with them being as a couple.

It seems the memory wipe failed on younger Kelly because she outright ended her relationship with younger Ed. This would drastically alter the timeline I think. What if Ed now becomes depressed because of the sudden cut-off after a successful date from before? Maybe he'll take up drinking and not become the Captain he was destined to be along with being suicidal and Kelly now becomes Captain instead.

The Kaylon on the other hand seemed to have recouped their loses since they are on the hunt for ships containing organic life. Why haven't they attacked Earth again with a stronger armada seeing how they already know the location?

The best part was the replicated dance floor with Yaphit pulling out all the moves his gelatinous body could conceive of and Bortus along with his mate screaming in a Klingon-like rage to what they perceive as a mating ritual dance mix.

Agreed. If I had such an opportunity I like to imagine we would be the best of friends. But I imagine there are some people who wouldn't. But it's interesting to think about and the chance to imagine this is one of the best things about the episode.

Yes, seems to have failed. The consequences of that look to be much more significant than just the lives of Ed and Kelly. It appears that without Ed as captain the rapport with the Krill may never happen and not the humanization of Isaac either. Could be the Kaylons were victorious in the Battle for Earth in the new timeline.

The Kaylons probably have not had time to sufficiently rebuild their fleet yet. They are probably scouting to prevent a counterattack int he meantime.

Interesting that Isaac is working on time travel tech. Did you catch that he said it works on both organics and non-organics. Maybe he plans to go back in time and prevent the Kaylon robots from rising up?

How about Ed and Gordon as old guys in the club?

Or maybe the memory wipe DIDN'T fail....

Remember, in the original timeline, Kelly accepted the 2nd date while she was hungover.
The alternate Kelly wasn't hungover when he called her.

Perhaps hungover Kelly is more apt to say 'Yeah...sure...whatever..."

scott grimes and seth mcfarlane should be hanged

Rumors say they're hung. Close enough?

They should have also brought in a third version with red hair. It would have been a Kelly Grayson Neapolitan.
