Tell me WHY I had a dream last night (let's preface this by saying that I'm currently binging Falling Skies) about Robby and Carter being SUCKED into the universe where Falling Skies is real because somehow someone triggered something that said they needed more Tom Masons. But there aren't more Tom Masons. In other universes, there are versions of him though: John Carter and Michael Robinavitch. Different people but the same intelligence and tenacity. And yes, they look alike.
Robby and Carter are alone at first, making their way through the hellscape that is currently earth and Robby has grown EXCEEDINGLY protective over this little version of him with a different name. Little intern Carter who is also a doctor. They've kinda figured out the parallel universe thing from that. Finding guns, fending off Skitters... And make their way to Charleston (because this apparently takes place in season 3?) completely by accident.
Upon which everyone is immediately suspicious because that's an older Tom and a younger Tom and WHAT???? And I'm a little Pope/Tom...Tope? pilled right now so he's totally like, "Oh, great another Mason" but also thinking of the possibilities. And it's Cochise who's like, wait, I know what's happening here!
And then Flynn fucking Carson pops up with his chaotic and brilliant energy.
And by the power of four Masons, they win this shit. Also Anne is super stoked for a competent ED doctor to work with and Flynn is fascinated by the Berserkers and is so endearingly annoying to them and Carter is so sweet that no one can actively hate him and Weaver is like, this is a child I don't care how old you say he is wait what? No I'm not related to anyone named Kerry, stop following me around!
My brain should be studied.
