I just always think of her as Jo Grant, not Jo Jones, what can I say . . . *g*
And yeah, I wasn't happy about Gita getting her memory erased, and I agree that the show was better once Alan knew the truth. First off, memory erasure is a bit too convenient, and it's been used a few too many times in the past on SJA. It's also brushed off as not a big deal, and I'm not happy about that -- if they really think they have to do it, there should at least be some remorse at having to tamper with someone's mind like that. I'd have much preferred to end the episode with the same situation we had at the beginning, where Gita and Haresh have seen aliens and believe in aliens, but don't know anything more. Besides, just think of the situations we could've gotten if they'd gone that route -- Gita trying to keep her knowledge of aliens away from Rani, for example. Wouldn't that have been great?
I didn't notice any resemblance to Prisoner Zero, so I'll have to go back and check for that. I did think the poison was taking an awful long time to work, and I wondered what would happen if Androvax died before he woke up anyone else on the ship. He might want to get on with that . . . ; )
