Do you know what else just dawned on me this morning? The rather ambiguous music that brought the Final Five together ended up being Jimi Hendrix's The Watchtower, if you recall the final five mumbling the words of the song, Sol in particular with his hear up against his cabin saying, "There must be some kind of way out of here." Which begs the question, if it was in their robotic/genetic makeup to come together at a specific time and place, how would they know that song if Earth#2 was not yet known? Unless perhaps the show is trying to draw parallels between Earth#1's destiny and Earth#2's; i.e. same music, same ambitions, same humans, same robots with the tried cliche of this series: "This has all happened before and will happen again," or my favorite from a contemporary love ballot: "History repeats itself, I didn't mind, I didn't listen." It also dawned on me that perhaps it was the "higher powers" which brought the final-five together, which shows their love for rock; the Gods of Rock-n-Roll. Silly, I know, so an easily dismissed notion. Finally, we have a syntax error, more commonly referred to as a Plot Hole. Was Earth#1 actually suppose to be Earth until the writers decided it didn't quite fit the story they were trying to tell? Take your pick, but I'll keep my own opinion on this to myself.
