I thought Talia's reactions, especially at the end, were a little off. Such a sad story, and even if you agreed with the laws, it obviously wasn't a good or fair outcome for Susan's mother, or Susan.
And I kept wondering (on first viewing) why Talia kept after poor Susan. Once she'd reported to the second in command, all done, let it go, move on!

I was checking the scriptbooks for Sinclair's father's sayings (I liked ruuger's prompt in the other post) and remembered this was all written with Lyta in mind. And during that scene Lyta asks Susan if she's telepathic, and she says no, it's a recessive gene that skips every other generation or so. Fascinating stuff!
