Wow. Thanks and sorry? It's weird, I didn't know I was so invested in them, but they do keep showing up with me. I don't know if the show just didn't think too hard about them or if they simply trusted the viewers to get the troubling ramifications.

ETA: Not meaning to make it all about me, of course. I was actually kind of glad about where you took the alt-timeline characters (especially after we discussed them) in your "Desperate Measures", just because I'd hate to picture what the alternative would be like for them, you know? (Being all vague so as not to spoil others.) And I think even that closure for that John about his Rodney, awful as it was for him, is better than not knowing would have been.
