- TriviaOpening scene, wide shot of everyone at the table in the woods. This is an approximation of Leonardo Da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'; you can see the awkward pause in pacing as everyone tries to hit their pose. The painting depicted the apostles' reaction to Jesus saying that someone at the table would betray him to the romans and crucifixation.

Pree: I'm sorry. Probably not the exotic honeymoon we had in mind.
Gared: I think it's pretty good.
Pree: Really?
Gared: Yeah. I've never been out of Old Town.
Pree: Liar... scandal!
Gared: Pree, I'm a fourth-generation miner from a third-tier moon. Thanks to you, here I am on Leith, fighting aliens with a bunch of warlords, eating exotic can meats...
[laughs]
Gared: I married up!

Featured review
Nice finale
Episode plot (spoiler free)
A nice wrap up episode for the season.
Someone awakens to learn quite a bit about things that had been purposefully hidden and an uneasy alliance of blood, lovers and friends comes together to offer some last minute hope.
An unlikely bond between two of the newly minted protagonists brings a little levity to the dialogue in a show that has become increasingly dark over the last few episodes.
If the whole show ended here, it would have been a nice, open, clean ending, come full circle.
--
Plot moves on at a nice pace here with sufficient reveals to keep the audience's interest and despite some logical gymnastics to crowbar in several of the character arcs, many of the stories threads are tied.
For me, though this episode and a few preceding it have been a little too "Disney Lite" with regard to the characters relationships pictured within...
Arsehole turns hero turns hullen turns "cleansed" turns persecuted turns hero.
Arsehole turns good guy turns arsehole turns good guy.
Sociopathic baddie turns goodie without realising it...
A little too cute, IMO.
And, while I do appreciate representation, being a member of the alphabet soup that is LGBTQX++etc, I can't help feeling that this show is trying juuuuust a liiiittle bit too hard to squeeze in (or squeeze out, as it may be in this case) as many social strata and queer stereotypes as possible.
Body positive post-human cyberpunk-types trope... check. (sci fi staple) Cute, camp gay bar dude who turns out to be a hidden ruthless warlord, check.
Uber-masculine murderer turns first timer puppy-loving, doe-eyed sexual convert, check. Who knew?
Lesbian/Pan lady who just happens to be a sociopathic crazy murderer. Check. Yawn.
Gender reversed situation with polygamous woman, check. Mm'ok... whatever at least this was original, if a little bit Ghostbuster...
I'm all for inclusion, but the sheer density of this show's offerings is detracting from actually identifying with any of them in any meaningful way, since there is so little thought directed at most of the characters.
Instead, we see one of the most intriguing, deeply drawn and most seriously, least camply written and well acted characters in the whole season removed in such a wasteful way that can only have be due to a contractual snafu...
