Eternity is actually one of my favorite episodes of the series *because* of Dahlia and Cara's relationship. As other people have said, two mord'sith fooling around or falling in love (if mord'sith *can* fall in love pre-rehabilitation) is pretty typical in the books and very logical, considering everything the mord'sith go through. Aside from that, I thought bringing Dahlia in as a past lover revealed far more depth about Cara's character; it served as a foil to show how far Cara's humanizing had come - that she could actually *be* betrayed now because Richard&gang had taught her to trust. And I thought Tabrett Bethell and Laura Brent (the two actresses) did an outstanding job portraying that character history, showing just how much they meant to each other (not simply the kissing, but all of their body language towards each other, especially during the torture scenes).
If you have difficulty with non-heterosexuality, then, yes, this episode probably won't be for you. However, if you can simply view Cara and Dahlia's relationship as a *relationship*, hopefully you'll see that this episode was a phenomenal climax to Cara's journey throughout Season 2, and appreciate Dahlia's character for everything that she says about Cara's character.   See 66 other replies

I also agree, This show had a decent story, than I guess they hired a Canadian to write some of it, and of course in comes the PERVERSION, They even had a guy going after another guy in the episode called the "Mirror"-These sexual deviants should stop writing material for the general public's viewing-of course it's their agenda !!!!   See 66 other replies
