I think most of you are missing the point of the guy's original posting.
He knows what the *plot* seemingly said, but wouldn't it be cool if the guy
were not only Sarah's son's father but *also* Sarah's son, by some past or
future time-travel a la Heinlein's "All You Zombies".  Note how the original
poster uses the term "subtle" several times, and again how the majority
of respondents ignore this and go for the obvious - like thinking Kelvin's
reviews are for real.
