Too lazy to read all 9 pages of posts, so this has probably been pointed out already: what's with the impossible coincidences? Less than 0.1% of the population survived this disaster- but Hope turns up alive then Saul's Mom shows up? What are they, part of the 'Final Five' from Galactica?

[CAUTION gotta get some mild meanness outta my system]

Now that it's been explained to me that Saul is black (he still sounds like a white guy from Brooklyn to me) it seems the only other decent black survivor in CA turns out to be his MOTHER? I'm reminded of a Danny Glover line (in Grand Canyon?) "We must be the only two black people he knows"
