It's perfect that LJ randomly chose the No Fate spinning knife icon pic you have for that post referencing Earthlings.
If only LJ could be that clever. That was me choosing that icon though.
I think the UFO convention was actually perfect. Everyone thinks these people are crazy, but some of them, like Abraham, really were onto something. It makes sense that given their frame of reference they'd think aliens were involved for some technology far too advanced for our present day. I don't exactly thing time travelling robots from the future would be a natural assumption anyone would jump to.
Exactly. That's why I thought as bizarre as it was to send Sarah off to a UFO convention, it really did fit the story well.
The "I'm a waitress" line confused the hell out of a lot of people, but my interpretation was that it was an auditory hallucination on Sarah's part as she was identifying with Abraham and imagining some of her own experiences in what he was relaying.
That's basically how I viewed that too. I didn't really see it as an auditory hallucination, just Sarah's thoughts, but in Abraham's voice since that's the voice she'd just been listening to. And for our benefit - to continue the connection between Abraham's life and Sarah's.

Yeah, great episode. I loved that one.
