Yeah, that story is awesome and worked very well for me, too. I totally forgot about that one because my RL experience has taught me that it’s often easier to bond (and get that bond accepted by the surrounding people) for religious people who are from different denominations or completely different religions than it is to bond between religious and non-religious people. Not saying that it’s completely impossible, just less likely in my personal experience.
Since I have met some deeply religious scientists myself, there’s less of a contradiction between science and religion in my opinion. I don’t see them as mutually exclusive. So yeah, maybe they could bond over science and agree to disagree about religious topics. Not saying it won’t work at all, just that I think it would be difficult. The writers would have to do some convincing to make such a relationship work for me.
Wasn’t it said that the girlfriend will be introduced in episode 4 or 5? Well, if the first episode airs by the end of September, math would put meeting the girlfriend sometime around Halloween. A shared love for that one would probably go a long way for Reid. ;)
