While in a small town for a gig, Molly runs into a girl who looks exactly like one of her childhood friends, Rebecca, claiming to be Rebecca's daughter; however, Fi soon finds out that Rebecca's "daughter" is actually Rebecca herself, who only ages one year for every 100 years that passes.

Another reason, out of many, this episode is so great because it is an easy relatable topic. Many people experience a friend loss and Molly shows her raw emotion that tugs at my heart. When she asks Jack, "What is it about me, Jack? Why do I have to lose so many people?" oh my. :'( And the beautiful sad song.

Anyone else pause to read the news article about Rick's death? I really am impressed with the attention to detail on this show. It's so frustrating when even today, in the age of HDTV, dvds, blu-ray and screencaps, news articles are just filler text and a plot-important headline.

Yeah, I've done that too I'm glad they included an article on the Phillips Kane Band too because it gave me a little more to work with for a PKB vid.

Was thinking about the original third season ideas yesterday, and I don't recall if there was ever any mention of Rebecca's ultimate destiny (after bad guys lose). So I've decided to try to find a happily-ever-after for her. But I need to know (or decide) where she came from to do that.
You know, I've thought about her and her family a bit. She says she'll never be able to get married, so there can't be an entire community of her kind out there that she knows about. On the other hand, it can't just a genetic, runs-in-the-family quirk like she mentioned if both her mother and father have the same condition (I assumed dad did, too?). Well, unless they're distant relatives. I think they might have some kind of disease immunity, else wise they'd die at basically the same rate as humans, but reproduce much much more slowly (75 years for a pregnancy).
So there has to be some sort of origin point for all the bloodlines that live/age like this. Presumably just the one origin point. Either it was over 20,000 years ago (long enough for it to be forgotten) or else Rebecca's parents know the origin, and just haven't told her. Or she didn't want to share it with Fi, which is reasonable.
I considered a village that made a magic deal long ago, and I considered aliens. With one you could (if they wanted) make them normal mortals with normal aging rates, but that seems iffy to me - it's giving up a lot of life. With the other the aliens we see could help them settle a new planet (and contribute some tech). But how many of them are there on the planet? How many do you need for a viable, sustainable population - 5000?
Someone else I was discussing it with wondered if we could make them the inhabitants of Atlantis, but the histories (well, created as fiction, but doesn't seem to be in SW-verse) would have to have their timelines off for that to be the case. Or, again, there's some lying involved.

This is probably one of my favorite episodes in season one. Rebecca and Molly's connection just warms my heart. I wish that they could have reunited later in the series.

A reunion would be very interesting and very emotional. This would have to happen, I suppose, after Molly acknowledges the realities of magic existing (which she kinda already has by being so scared of it). Or else the reunion would push the point home. It would give Molly some closure and she could understand the "why" in Rebecca's exits. They can't the same kind of best friends anymore, because they aren't peers anymore; despite her advanced years, Rebecca still seems to be a teenager in emotional maturity to me. They can still be friends, of course, but it'll be different.

Unpopular opinion, I'm really not that big on this episode as much as other people. I feel like there's way too many questions that this episode didn't explain. What exactly is Rebecca? How did they move so quickly? Must've not moved very far, since Rebecca came back, in the end. I do feel for Molly, though. I'll always get a kick out of Fi banging on the door and screaming "REBECCA!", though LOL It's like a little "inside joke" between my converted "So Weird" friends (that I had to force them to watch it LOL) and me. I made a GIF about it and everything!
