I've just finished episode 2 and its time to think about those 3 missing years *and* what Jen and Ian spoke of.
It sounds like Ian did something more then he said and I have an educated guess what it might be.
But first did Jen find out about what he did or work with him.
I actually have a few ideas here.
Its been 3 years for the team and moments for Ben.
They said specifically that he was presumed dead or lost "when he leaped as a host".
This leads me to several thoughts.
We also have the "cheat code" and well I'm a veteran star trek fan - I'm pondering the equivalent of a transporter pattern buffer situation.
He has been stuck in a half- leaped state until Ian did something to free him to leap again OR someone leaped for the express purpose of freeing/saving Ben.
With a 3 year time gap and us never seeing who came out of the accelerator it is actually *possible* that Sam *did* come home and then either returned to leaping or is in the present to eventually talk to.
There is even a remote possibility that Tom Westfall is related to Sam somehow - Tom being both a common name and his brother's name.
You will remember that Sam also double leaped or potentially leaped while a host - in the leap back. (And I do wonder if he was actually in Al's body or his own during that? There are a few subtle indicators that he might actually be Al) but either way that is when Sam "double-leaped" or leaped as a host.
My previously stated theory is Sam became more physically himself after that point. Now Ben starts out fully leaping into other people's bodies - I think they may have been indicating through the old woman being able to break down that wall - that he is now much more physically himself wrapped in the host's aura
. Aka at either level one or two of how things were for Sam - interesting.
The three year time job leads to interesting possibilities but Ben being frozen in time while three years passed is quite the development.
Also a few developments with Magic - no longer military and a year of being with someone. Hmm a new charactor, returned to a prior one, Beth?
What are your thoughts?
