There is actually a good Space Opera book called The Quantum Magician that one of the main premises is this idea of someone being able to perceive quantum states without them collapsing. If you are ever in the mood for a space opera book.

I've also been suspecting that Gaal being awake during the jump was going to be significant at some point, but somehow it has never come back up again. I really hope they point this out as being related to her significant in the show.

As for Gaal's parents being some other people it seems unlikely. Wouldn't they still have to be from that planet? As Gaal had those gems on her face that I assume were some part of that planets species biology.

the stones were put onto her as a baby and is not part of their biology. I remember the scene but can't remember which ep. Kinda gave me similar vibes to baby circumcisions due to religious reasons.

Ill check the quantum magician, seems intriguing, thanks!

I'll have to go back to that first episode and check it out.
