Meanwhile, Zhaan continues to die like a martyr, complete with having to constantly comfort Stark about her death, and that, right there, is why I don't ship them and wish that if Zhaan had to go, we could have had her interact more with the original crew during her last episodes. Yes, I know Stark had a terrible life and this is the first person he's really attached himself to. But it still grates. Even without him starting to fixate on Aeryn in the same episode, argh.

Yeah, I hated that part. It made Zhaan all about dying, AND made her completely about Stark, AND wtf was up with him and Aeryn?

I really didn't like Jool when she first showed up, because she was so entitled and they were leaning so hard on how she was Not-Zhaan. I liked her a lot later on, but it's one of the show's rare fumbles (IIRC) in introducing a character that poorly. (Grayza is something else altogether, but she's not a character, she's a cliche.)

All that aside, turning the "neural chip clone" idea into Harvey was one of the best character decisions the writers made, and it was perfectly in keeping with the "hillarible" aspects of the show (I actually found it made Scorpy more menacing, not less, because omg John could never get away from him ever).
