Interesting take on Matt. He strikes me as a touch implausible as a man who's trained for this mission for years - and I think in real life, Becker would spot him for a non-military type quite quickly.
The idea that all the anomalies seem to open so near to London/the ARC rather annoys me. At least in S1 and 2 there was some attempt to indicate that they happen in various places both near and far, and that it sometimes takes a while to get there. It's all of a piece with never not seeming to be able to work out the the sensible passage of time, both during and between eps.
The Connor-Abby thing is weird and I don't get it at all.
The no soldiers thing is even weirder, really. Presuming they're private security guys, Philip would surely replace them as necessary. I think it's partly down to the shift in emphasis from the creatures being interesting to them being merely something hostile to be shot at. Hence the EMDs, carried by the team, who in former days didn't go armed all the time. Though the EMDs are cool, and they do make sense, they make it much easier to justify the team going round shooting at things.
