This is the first time I've heard his whole name used together (it might have been said in the last episode, but I feel like this was the first I'VE ever heard it together), and I wanted to point something out.
The outsider's first and last name is Greg Mendell. His middle name is unknown at this point, but...
The writers gave him the same name (with small changes) as Gregor Johann Mendel.
Sound familiar? It should if you took general science courses growing up or studied biology. Mendel was praised as the founder of the new science of genetics, or, as your teachers would have put it, determining patterns in traits in something as common as a pea plant, and using that to jump start the science into looking into what makes our own genes dominant and recessive.
This could be mere coincidence, but what if it's not? Though that brings to mind the question of which character would he be connected to? If we wanted to really grasp at straws, the link between peas and beans could be made, since they're both in a pod. ;D What do you guys think though?
