[edit] Autism and Augments

It's interesting to note that the augments all display behaviors consistent with modern diagnosed mental conditions or pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). Lauren's behavior, in sexual acting-out and her delusion that men are in love with her, is consistent with mania, possibly schizophrenia, or some variant of impulse control disorder. The other three display various hallmarks of autism: Jack's lack of empathy or the ability to understand other's emotions (Asperger Syndrome); Patrick's age-inappropriate responses and sensitivity to noise; and as mentioned in the article, Sarina's inability to speak or write. It seems unlikely to me that this level of similarity is coincidence. Does anybody have access to anything from the author on what he/she was thinking about? SkepticalGal 17:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just saw the episode

They did mention the possibility of an uprising on Cardascia. They made a similar prediction that Weynon made in the episodes, either favor the bold, or sacrifice of the angels, that Earth would be the center of Resistance against the dominion. They neglect predict Weynon's response to it. Weynon's solution to the problem was to eradicating Earth's population destroying any possibility of earth becoming a center of resistance.

[edit] Tim Ransom

I don't think the Tim Ransom linked on the page is the actor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.195.158.33 (talk) 22:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
