My initial guess was that safeguard meant killing the whole silo to protect the other silos. The AI doesn't want any communication between silos for whatever reason and will sacrifice a silo if it's viewed as a threat to the project as a whole. Which presents the question, if it realises that Juliet was at another silo and had contact with the people there will it initiate Safeguard?

Sad to see army captain die. He was my favourite character after Two Moons and Abish. Army traitor was an idiot if he honestly thought the Mormons would let him walk away with a big bag of money when they went to great lengths to kill everyone who had the slightest idea they were behind the massacre.

It's a very slow burn but they're definitely planting seeds for a romance between Sarah and Isaac. I'm assuming he had a Shashone wife and kid who died and Devon reminds him of his dead son. He found Sarah annoying to start as did we all but he's starting to appreciate her fierce protective instinct and they're slowly bonding over their shared desire to protect Devon.

It's still annoying when Sarah won't listen to Isaac when he gives simple instructions but in her defense he doesn't explain himself. She's a mother. She sees a young child alone in the wilderness so of course she wants to help and Isaac didn't explain why it was a bad idea to help her. I hate how often rape is used as a plot device in these types of shows but it's realistic to the times and for all the gratuitous violence they showed restraint in portraying the rape.

Or enough scenes of dead animals being butchered. How can I tell it a gritty Western without seeing dead animals at every location? I understand that Sarah probably has trust issues and she's right not to trust the majority of people she comes across but Isaac has saved her life several times already at this point and she can't extend him the smallest amount of trust to go buy them some horses without following him? It's just frustrating.

Damn it, Sarah, you couldn't just do as you were told and stay put.

The violence does seem a bit gratuitous but I'm interested so far. The main thing that's putting me off is how annoying I'm finding Sara. I understand she can't go back and feels she has to keep pushing forward but she seems so set on her course that she ignores sensible warnings and advice.

No, when they were on their outing to show off their turns she spoke of her parents being abroad. I think maybe her father is a diplomat or something.

Well, that was eventful. I knew there was something between the doctor and Amalia but i thought maybe his wife had died and that it was an unspoken thing they hadn't acted on. The real surprise was definitely the reveal about Mundi being gay and having a thing with Hugo. I want to like Augie, he's Whedon's new Wesley/Simon character but he needs to wise up. If he can't see that Hugo is using him and it's a terrible idea to be the owner of record for a brothel then there's no hope for him.

I agree about the confusing ending. I would have preferred if they destroyed the portal so there was no more travel or interference between worlds. On a separate topic, one of my favourite scenes in this season was the confrontation between Helen and Jennifer. The Smiths both needed to confront what they had done and who they had become. Using your children as an excuse for your terrible choices doesn't work that well if your children find out. The whole mentality of doing anything to protect your kids doesn't seem so noble when it costs the lives of thousands of other children.

I did put baddies in quotation marks because I definitely didn't consider Tagomi to be a baddie. He was a high ranking member of an occupying force so within the context of the show where the Nazis and the Japanese are the antagonists i did include him as one. Obviously the show is more nuanced than that though.

Well, I binged the whole season in one day. I enjoyed the final season and the ending mostly but it's probably going to take a little while to process my thoughts on it. I definitely think that this was a show that grew more interesting as it went along. I remember when I watched the first season I was interested in the premise but thought the show was a bit boring. The "baddies" stole the show. The Smiths, Tagomi and Kido just were just more interesting than Frank, Joe and Juliana so it is perhaps fitting that the final season featured Smith and Kido so heavily.

On the Trump Witch Hunt shirt was Superhero Trump flying in front of the same glowing orb that he was feeling up with the Saudis?

I thought the China segment was going to be about the detention and forced "'re-education" of the Muslim minority in Western China. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-muslims-re-education-camps-amnesty-uighur-religion-human-rights-watch-a8678156.html

I was trying to remember, was DSK hullenized after she killed Potter?
