Surprising episode - I never expected this show to go all intimate theater. Great acting and writing underscored by the fact that they did not have to resort to naval porn to distract from ludicrous plot points. I'm still dubious about the guy though - because I ultimately agree with this: But it was a refreshing change of pace and a break from the Benny Hill sub was quite welcome - all those bloody shenanigans brougth the show a tad too close to Zoo and a reminder of what is at stake was necessary.

Random observation: When Dutch asked D'avin to show her his eyes I couldn't help thinking: 'It's alright, he doesn't have the defiant pupil anymore!'

Good catch - once she had uttered the rain-staking threat (just watched the promo, yikes!) the medship replied with "We're on route, Seyah", that certainly makes it sound like an honorary/aristocratic title. ETA: When company guys dismissed her connections during last episode and had her arrested he only refered to her as "Illenore Pawter Simms". So I guess the Seyah part is really the crucial part here (which probably got her out of jail quickly too).

Well, he's not the fastest thinker.

I thought there was some handwavy explanation given once that they can only get news coverage when they are within range of a space-station.

Definitely the best episode yet - damn did a lot happen! It's the ultimate weapon if you can turn it against your enemy - his soldiers finish off each other, no losses for you. Although I like D'avin I was all 'nope, nope, nope' when the hug did not end platonic - glad show then pulled a massive Whedon on us. That was brutal on all accounts and although the symbolism of D'avin cleaning away his brother's blood was a bit heavy it sure worked. And Pawter is not who she said she is (and she's bloodtype 0), intriguing. I guess the story how she got out of trouble last episode was also a lie. Girl has some massive clout she's hiding. I like how they keep dropping hints about the weird going-ons outside the Quad. First racoon eyes girl got all enthusiastic about a piece of tech from way outside the Quad and then Dr. Jaeger mentions a threat 'coming to the Quad' - looks as if she's freaking out about the same thing Khylen did. As someone who ships Nick and Dr. Lee I have no problems with this.

My money's still on One since I don't think this show would pull off such a subtle fake-out. But I admit this being Three's memories would be more intriguing.

Great episode - show managed to surprise me twice. First with revealing the real face of One (wish we could keep it) and then with Six brutally murdering the General. The later was a fake-out but seeing Six go into full on rage was still chilling. Also: even discounting the people killed in the terrorist attack I think Six has the highest kill-score on the Raza. Given his normal cuddly-bear persona that's a bit unnerving. Four was awesome, Three had another good round of providing comic relief. Five was given the thankless task of spouting off way too much exposition first about the whole travel-by-clone concept (you'd think hardened criminals like that bunch would have heard about that before) and then when talking to the Android. But I sort of liked the Android's reaction which was neither 'yay, feelings' nor 'eww, feelings'. I wonder what the Android knows about Two, can't just be about her Wolverine healing. I wonder if Two is an Android herself just way more advanced. I know this has been mentioned before with regards to her fighting skills and healing powers. In this episode we saw her perform a manual docking maneuver which judging from all the fuss they made must be quite difficult. @ZoqFotPik: Thanks for all the background-info on David Moss. Not quite the goody-two shoes I expected and definitely a couple of shady secrets in that biography. The bio also mentions that he spent his childhood on the 'countryside of earth' another indicator that Five was experiencing One's childhood memories.

Aww, that sounds incredibly cute! There's no bigger proof of trust than an animal introducing you to its young ones. Of course the racoon might have a different take on this: 'C'mon boys and girls, I'll show you the best deli in the neighborhood! Look smart!' I never got attacked but regularly harassed by a squirrel on my way to school. The little guy would wait for me, pick a low hanging branch on a fir tree and just bitch at me from above like there's no tomorrow.

True - why go to Brazil when you don't want to feature fearsome local fauna? Piranhas on the Copacabana (hey, if bats can fly to Antarctica the whole freshwater thing is clearly a non-issue). Also missing: anacondas and poisonous frogs in the drains. And let's not get started on things with more than four legs: "It is calculated that Brazil has more insects than any country in the world. It is estimated as having over 70,000 species of insects" *cancels plans to visit Rio*

Finally a good explanation why we're just not that impressed by the bats - they're definitely not charismatic megafauna.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Maybe she's a member of a family that has been kicked out of the exclusive Nine Club a long time ago? The whole concept of a weapon designed to attack a bloodline is a tad flimsy though. I don't think one of the Nine could use that against any competition - from the way this society is described intermarriage between the Nine must happen frequently. My knowledge about genetics is a bit hazy but I see plenty of problems here.

Er, I think Abe mentioned something about those contraptions not being properly insulated and therefore giving off more *cough* electric radiation or something unlike proper transformers in affluent parts of the city. Of course that still won't explain the Japanese bat attack or the lion attack in the pilot but there you go! Ah, but Wolfmanson has the defiant pupil! I agree with the reviewer - this show must get dumber to be good.

Nice way to wrap up a season or a show - I guess it could go either way. The episode was your standard wedding shenanigans episode. Andy looked great in her wedding dress, the shades and the leather jacket. I can't help it but Nick sewing Andy into her wedding dress was way hotter than it should have been. If Nick leaves the show for good I hope Peter Mooney picks up a decent gig that offers him more screen-time than this show did.

Definitely not enough snark-fodder in this episode! And not enough killer zebras! Weakest outing yet - we need at least one over-the-top animal attack/mauling per episode and those stupid bats just don't cut it anymore. They peaked in the Antarctic. I never paid much attention in science classes (just like annoying journalist) though I'm not sure that would help here, but why exactly did they need the Mother Cell right after stating that the Mother Cell is everywhere? Are we following the same logic here as Orphan Black where they needed to get their hands on the Original? And why did the Mother Cell look like a frog mummy - or was my monitor playing tricks. All I could see in the plastic container was something warty greenish grey. And bats do have a defiant pupil, ha!

And here's a story that's not funny but let's you wonder if that whole defiant pupil deal should not be real... http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jul/28/killer-of-cecil-the-lion-was-american-zimbabwe-officials-claim

Sounds like something Three would say!

This quote from the episode by @Millennium is just perfect:

Maybe the bat survivors from Antarctica were flocking down on Ipanema beach (can you blame them?) hissing and giving tourists the defiant pupil? That's bad for the economy. *Dalek sound effect* Exterminate!!!

But swords (and other stabby things i.e. melee weapons) look cooler - hence all the sword-wielding sci-fi characters. Four is hardly a rarity.

They certainly played it this way in this episode. However when Niels found the first group of chosen ones they deliberately let him sleep in an infected sleeping bag in order to test him. And that group had only a very loose hierarchy if any IIRC.

Bats again? Where is the killer zebra???

So this works like the classical transfer of royal power - 'The king is dead, long live the king'? Interesting. I just wish this show had created a somewhat cooler replacement POTUS in the vein of Laura Roslin.

Crows are smart so I'm not surprised hive-mind of deviant pupil had to use bats for its various kamikaze missions. A crow would flip you the finger er... feather if you were to order it to fly into a jet-engine or to Antarctica to have its ass freeze off on a solar panel.

uh-oh... of course we know since 'Finding Nemo' how fiendish they can behave. http://time.com/3972735/killer-seagulls-uk-babies/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3175036/Now-seagulls-cunning-Packs-birds-target-women-develop-new-tactics-steal-lunch.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/wildlife/11763601/Seagull-pictured-eating-rat-in-one-go-in-Plymouth.html
