I'm glad they dispatched of Spencer Clay before the finale so that the episode could give Netwon the spotlight so needed. I'm a big Bill Nighy fan so his monologue and depth of emotion conveyed was staggering.

For all of the big McGuffin of the quantum fusion machine, I loved the themes of self-determination, individualism, family, the different shapes of love and family (Josiah and Newton as father figures to Farraday; Finch and Clay and their effed up family dynamic, the deep abiding love Portia has for Justin and her family, Hatch and his nephew).

Five Years was the perfect song to close out the episode.

Agreed. Same for Chiwetel Ejiofor. I noticed that Faraday  was wearing a shirt with a long pointy collar just like Newton. during the reveal scene.

I was almost sobbing. The show really benefited from having the right's to Bowei's music.

PLEASE tell me there will be a season two. If this show follows Einstien's physics, many years could pass before Faraday and his people return. Molly will be an adult, or even a much older women. Earth will still be around if the cold fusion cubes are used, and if they solve more problems than they solve. (I'm not optimistic) So much for the Prime Directive.

Kate Mulgrew: Damn. She was freaking terrifying. I didn't know she had it in her.
