I'm still digesting. This episode was formatted and presented very, very
differently than any we've seen before. In the end, life looks
promising, but the getting ther part is pretty ugly.

I was surprised that CC was cut from the opening credits. I was under
the impression that if an actor A appeared as character X in Y number of
episodes per year, actor A was entitled (actor's guild rules??) to an
opening credit in every episode that season. I realize this was filmed
during season 5 shooting, after CC left, but Jason Carter's credit was
still there. I thought he was a scouting out the next plane of
existance.

What are the rules (if there are such) governing the opening credits of
a production?

Nice makeup job 100 years in the future. Sad so see that academics are
still dweebs. Why is it that when a person cannot imagine themself doing
something fantastic, they assume others cannot either? And do their best
to rip it apart.

500 years forward. While the deconstructor is being drawn out, he talks
about the first strike. He mentions enemy(?) nations in a context that
leads me to beleive the strike would include not only human colony
worlds, but parts of earth also. 

Has nationalism arisen again? To the point where EarthGov is no longer
the controlling power on earth?

Nice job by Stephen Furst. See you in January.

Because Claudia was in the original 422, it changed the way we had to do the
 credits, since that won't air until 5th season.
