It was a very simple scene, but perfectly placed, and well acted. I did, however, enjoy the chat that Camille and Matt had.

The ideas that gave the battles context were great, but the actual action was not the best the series has delivered. I also thought the space battles were a bit lackluster. I didn't like Chloe's little speech to Rush, only because I found it redundant (we already knew the stakes, and so did Rush) and it wasted precious time. I must admit I do have a few minor gripes. Robert Carlyle is still his grumpy self, but I feel like he has been limited by the role since Rush became more of a team player and was no longer the antagonistic force in the story. David Blue has really grown as an actor, and no episode shows that better than this one. The acting in this episode is also superb. This story works as well as it does because these are all smart ideas, and the creative team deserves credit for all it. Park proves she's still capable despite being disabled, and comes up with a clever plan to distract the drones using a shuttle. Then the stasis pods come into play as Eli devises a plan to do an end-around into the next galaxy that will take three years, and then Dr. It started with Rush and the other big brains working together to find a way around the drones, then got even smarter as the drone AI proves quite adaptable and they start doing kamikaze runs. We should never take for granted how hard it is to come up with plausible scenarios for sci-fi shows without getting into lazy hand-waving or bulls***, and the SGU writing staff (which included novelist John Scalzi as consultant) are quite adept at this stuff. Regardless of the reasons, this particular episode showed few flaws, and gave us reasons to recall just how much potential this series had. It could have been the pacing issues, or most likely all of the above.

It could have been the meandering storyline. It could have been the dark tone (a stark contrast to the levity of previous SG series). It's hard to pin down the exact factors that led to SGU's cancellation. Fans of the show are surely disappointed that things ended with no resolution, but as TJ said, 'sometimes you just have to play the hand you're dealt.' All things considered, this was as good of a finale as we could expect. We'll never know if it accomplished its mission, and we'll never know if its crew ever got home. The fantastic voyage of the Destiny has been cut short.
