As silly as parts of this episode were, it was a harbinger of the future. It set the idea of biotech and how far EF would go to get it, the dangers of said biotech too, even setting up Sinclair for his morph in Valen eventually I thought through his talk with Garibaldi and his interview. It set up the political problems that would serface soon too.

It did have one of those really cool series quotes with Sinclair's answer to the reporter:
"...whether it happens in a hundred years, or a thousand years, or a million years, eventually our sun will grow cold, and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us, it'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-tsu, Einstein, Maruputo, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes - all of this. All of this was for nothing, unless we go to the stars."
