James bashed Scott's head in?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  Of course, as soon as it happened I knew it wasn't real, and I was suspicious beforehand, because it didn't seem like Scott would sleep with her and Chloe both.One thing I barely caught was the time line of events.  It's only talked about in a couple of throwaway lines, but at first it seemed like they got them from the Old Galaxy.  However, they got to the new galaxy, planet hopped, came back, and that's where we enter.  It could have been made a little clearer.I wasn't sure what they were going for in the end.  Was it that planet hopping can be dangerous?  We've seen that plenty, since the beginning of the series.  I get it being unsettling for the infected people (and Wray), but for the others?  It just seemed like an excuse to throw in a second musical montage (blah).  I'd rather see them throw something like a Kino episode.Scott and his away team (Lt. James, Dr. Volker, snake-guy) got them, with the exception of the one woman who was unaffected.  From them, Greer and Rush got infected from extra ticks, and Chloe got hers after TJ tried to remove the one on Scott and it jumped to her.Have I mentioned how much I wish they'd emphasize names a little more?If they included more of the Kino scenes in the show, it'd be more effective.  He's a lot more part of the crew in them.</blockquote>
