Dr. Ben Song

He’s the same character, yes, but the good-hearted “Ben” who’s been making all those leaps isn’t quite the “Dr. Ben Song” we met at the start of the first episode. That guy entered the time-travel machine before the technology was fully ready, and without telling any of his colleagues—including the one he’s engaged to. Ben has leap-induced amnesia so he couldn’t explain himself even if he wanted to, but the split in his character makes it clear this guy has layers. Maybe even some darkness?
