the other day i was thinking about tim and his cloning attempts. and how this vulnerable moment for tim turns into a fetish for a ship, instead of the real heart breaking moment it is. which, to me, is tim trying to bring back his friends and loved ones from the dead. his girlfriend died, his father died, two of his closest friends and teammates died, his adoptive father presumed dead as well, and before that he had already lost his mother. everyone and everything he gave up his normal life for, gone and there was nothing he could do about it.
