Yeah. That would be sensible.
But part of the ongoing story arc of this show is that sometimes (all
too often) the team's decisions are driven by their emotionas for each
other as opposed to the best or safest course.

Maybe they are just a bit too comfortable with the level of danger
posed by alien menaces.

Oh, I figure that she let them touch and feel - her friends at
least. They are girls, they don't punch.

Oh yeah, had to happen. I was momentarily wi****ng for the MIB

Yeah. But thinking back, I don't think the mayfly inside Martha was
around after the fact either.

It still has a heartbeat - just because it's in an egg doesn't mean
it's heart isn't beating.

Yeah. Though Gwen's "there will be no secrets" line was a bit
ironic, as she sat there with Jack and Owen.
