Yeah, I guess you're right that it wasn't the worst SV episode EVER. Actually, as I think about it I wonder if they were deliberately revisiting some of the themes from Memoria (rather than just trashing Memoria--I'm thinking I may rewatch Memoria and see if I can get an essay out of it).

More and more I'm convinced Grant must be a clone, because not only did they deliberately start the season showing Lex has already successfully cloned someone he loved, but the whole theme of this episode was about replicants and what a mistake it is to think they can take the place of people you love.
