In Culture, it is infact the wormhole. The thing that josie2 steps into is not linear like a "light slip" is. It also warps the floor. The thing also seems to be in a state of flux as its light disappears and reappears. Lastly, compare it to the wormhole out of Who. The two are the same color and have the warped floor characteristic. If you call what Josie2 stepped into "light slip," then the thing that Prof Z got his head stuck in was also a "light slip." You're correct...both Culture and Who had wormholes that were wormhole colored and definitely not light slips...but were they 'the' wormhole or wormholes of the Janitor instead? He seems to have the ability to control both wormholes and light slips at will...not necessarily connected with the wormhole in Z's office...I think there's more going on than anyone realizes...

Okay, don't think me weird, but here's an activity I participated in today. Here's my scans. LOL Click the links, please, and let me know if I really do have too much time on my hands. ;D ;D ;D ;D Dood, you rawk! Cool! ----- I don't think I can say anything about this ep that hasn't already been said. It was very cool, I thought. I want to applaud whoever wrote it; it took some creativity to work a concept like tesserects into a kids show. Looks like we've gone way beyond "basic Newton stuff" and the periodic table.
I love episodes where we see the students and teachers after school hours in their free time, so this was good for that. Lucas and Corinne were cute together, kind of a brother/sister thing. I still think Z and Lucas look alike, like brothers or something.
I agree that this ep confirms a lot that we already know, but throwing in Prof Middleton was a great twist. It was so cool to see the scene from the first episode. I have to wonder as someone else mentioned, did Jim have that in mind from the begining or did they just write the episode to fit with it? Either way, very cool. I put it up their with Nocturnal and would rate the season 3 eps so far as: Transference: Average (felt like I had seen it before) Nocturnal: Very cool Allure: Better than I thought it would be, fun Tesseract: Very cool
Overall, this season has a great vibe and I am really enjoying it. I have skimmed the spoilers and i know there is great stuff coming up.

Mistake/Goof: When Z is standing in the Kitchen he takes his glasses off, then steps back into Lucas' room WITH his glasses ON!

a slight time technicality. yeah, most of us believe that Prof Middleton was not the type of guy who keeps up with changing the calender (I'm actually wondering how he effectively taught) but remember Lucas turned in his paper roughly 30 seconds minutes before midnight. I actually turned on the tv counter and it put from Prof Middleton closing the door to the wormhole opening at about 45 seconds. This means that if the calender was correct (which isn't really doesn't matter too much with this idea anyway) it was not April 1st but April 2nd. What ever day the calender should have said, it would have been the next day. Unless he was one of those people who changed the calender at night before the next day began. another thing, Professor Middleton didn't scream. In Wormhole, there was screaming. That brief scream we heard would have been Lucas. The tesseract, wouldn't it have been colapsing around Prof Zackary's office? If it was collapsing, there must be a center point where the gravity is largest to pull the tesseract together. Since the wormhole is a powerful source of gravity, would it have been that which was the cause of the collapse? also, in this episode, I think Professor Middleton explained what BHH energy is - electromagnetic energy with a pulse of hyperdimensional energy. I don't remember anyone else pointing that out... also... But Marshall! ? ! Where was he going? alright shippers and anti-shippers, brace yourselves. I believe Marshall was going with Corrine *tries to deflect all the thrown trash* Marshall walked in the direction of Corrine's car. Thing is, Josie also did. It could have been that Josie and Marshall were just saying good bye to Corrine. Not enough evidence to prove either.I keep adding to this. The second time around, at the end of the episode, when Corrine says her parent's have arrived, Marshall says Corrine's parents are their ride (he says "our ride."). Don't know why josie would be going with them though.

Well, thats... interesting. But kind of a pointless thing. That really adds nothing at all to the timeline discussion. Unless I missed the point of that, because the calander could not possibly be the correct year unless a year has passed by the next few episodes. Wouldn't the Tesseract have been using the wormholes energy to power it up? Otherwise, if the Tesseract has that dimensional rupturing power, than I'd say that it would just start folding where ever it was unleashed. When is it stated that the wormhole has a lot of gravity though? No. Corrines parents were the transport, thats all they were. I'm pretty sure they say that somewhere. When Corrine was talking to them on the phone, you never saw Marshall anywhere, not even in the background when her parents said "we're leaving." Thats why Josie was going with them, and why they invited Lucas at the end of the episode.

I agree with Gouki on this, it sounded to me like Mommy & Daddy Baxter were playing Taxi for the day. It's not uncommon for your friends parents to give you a lift home if they're asked nicely and it doesn't involve going well out of their way. And if Marshall was going with Corrine just because they were his ride, it would follow that Josie was too - but she wasn't, she said she was going to spend time with her mum. Also, Corrine did offer Lucas a ride even though he wouldn't be going with her. And if Marshall was going with Corrine, I've no doubt the writers would have included Corrine being v. excited in another purile moment of C/M pap So there's no real evidence to suggest that he was. Oh, also, he looked like he had camping gear strapped to his back: Corrine had no camping gear to be seen - I'd be more worried convinced if she did. You underestimate us, Mr MirrorCard ;D I have the sudden urge to watch Wormhole again and see if the scream sounds Lucasy at all... Every time I think about that bit, it totally blows my mind... if we'd have know at the time... Wow! Seconds it takes to turn the whole world upside down: Go Jim!

Ah but then he said "I'll go and see if my dad can change his plans" strongly implying that he intended to go with his father. Also, they probably would have just dropped him at home if his dad couldn't change his plans on the last minute. It's okay to ask your mum and dad if they'll give a friend a lift on the last minute but asking if they can come on holiday with you on the last minute is a bit steep (in my house you'd get a "hahahaha... NO.") it's too short notice (plus they may not have much money and you'd end up paying for them). And they were also giving Josie a lift and Josie was going to spend time with her mum. So still, there's no evidence to support the theory that Marshall and/or Lucas were going with Corrine's family on holiday.

Of course wormholes are a powerful source of gravity. Its two linked black holes, and black holes are the strongest source of gravity. its the BHH hyperdimensional energy that's pushing it in the direction of unrealistic.

Wormholes have nothing to do with black holes. If they were black holes they'd be bigger than the planet. A wormhole is a link between two areas in space and time. Since time travels faster where the gravity's strongest, when the wormhole opens the space-time at the 'output time' has the strongest gravity, so as it moves further through time all the time ahead of it is pushed ahead so to speak, except for whatever enters the wormhole. That way whatever's in the wormhole at the time stays while the rest of time moves forwards, until the destination time is where the input time used to be. I don't know how much sense that made... Probably not much.

Jim explained this before...it's actually wormholes at BHH...but Black Hole sounded better...so they went with it...there are no actual black holes at BHH...Jim said so...... I think it's the BHH Energy they really need to worry about......so what's everyone's opinion of Middleton?

so what's everyone's opinion of Middleton? I'm surprised he could teach effectively. It seemed far out there, like he should have been working in a lab instead of a school.

I liked him, he seemed like a good old fashioned eccentric teacher. true, unless you're smart and can study on your own (or like Mac absorb knowledge by osmosis ) then you might not learn very effectively... But they're the best sort if you can study on your own because they hit you with bizzare thoughts, turn their back while you liberate materials and are just real characters! My old history teacher was a bit like that - he wasn't a great teacher but it was great when he'd go off on one about his life as a little boy in the Welsh Valleys XD

About the ride thing I think Corrine's parents were gonna drop josie off somewhere. But Marshall, man he had so many things I don't know where he was going. I don't even know which parents he has, but I would like to see his whole family, I wonder if Grant is his only sibling.
But man, he had a lot of stuff. And I agree with the taxi thing.

I'd really like to see the rest of Marshall's family too. Marshall didn't indicate that he had any siblings other than Grant but then he dind't mention Grant at all until five minutes before he showed up So we really have no idea about his parents... although thinking about him and Grant at the end oh Chemisty, they're probably nuts too
