Remind me - your last writing gig was...

I'm saying Derek didn't remember a lot.

He was regressed to an age after Paige but before the fire.

That part is clear.

He knew Kate and trusted her. That part is clear.

He had at some point in the past told Kate about the Triskalion - that part is clear.

But showing Kate his eyes - that is nowhere in the narrative and to borrow my honorable friends phrase - is derived information. Also not in evidence - what else Derek remembered or didn't remember. He was confused throughout.

You guessed these things and then believed your guess must be true because it makes sense to you.

How very primitive.

That's why folks believed the geocentric model of the universe - cause they could see it was clearly true and it made sense to them that the sun revolved around the earth.

They didn't have all the information and couldn't conceive that they were filling in the blanks incorrectly.

I prefer to leave the blanks empty until the information is provided.
