I was watching this again & it reminded me of something I've wondered. When they first show Martin flying Donovan somewhere Donovan picked up a key to a door. He gave the key to Shawn. Did Martin drop the key on purpose or was it just there? He was about to hand it back to Martin & then put it in his pocket instead. Anyone know what scene I'm talking about?

yes, the visitors were still liked & respected at that stage. my guess is that the key belonged to martin & donovan just picked it up as a kind of souvenir...without martin's knowledge. he only began to realise its importance when he started to uncover their secrets.
sharei personally think he put it their so he would find it so he would do his thing on the mothership
sharethat would not make much sense because :
1. donovan did not suspect the visitors of doing anything underhand at that point
2. donovan & martin were still strangers to each other
3. the resistance were not yet formed
donovan just happened to pick it up & keep it as a memento. he would never have given the key to sean in the first place if he thought it was important.
