Art was frustrated w/ this guy and he hid behind the cop job long enough. Between S's mom, Beth and almost Donny, I think he knew that stepping in would have delayed somebody else he knows getting killed so he drew a reasonable line.

Would have been nice of her to at least shoot him downstairs in the secret hideout instead of splattering blood over 500 comic books they presumably intend to sell if a customer ever shows up.

Also yeah, how the gently caress did Scott get stuck with crime scene cleanup on this one?

The season finalé better be a heavily pregnant Helena crashing through Evie Cho's office window with an M-60, just as she's about to have Sarah and the gang iced. It just doesn't feel right to have a season where Helena hasn't wrecked a bunch of mooks and covered herself in blood.

I was just thinking in this episode, they're pretty lucky Scott sticks around and puts up with all their bullshit. He's only there because I guess he's kind of friends with Cosima now? Not long ago, this was just his job. Speaking of which, what are Sarah and Cosima and Siobhán doing for money? I assume Felix had some means of supporting himself originally and still does, even though we never get any idea of what it might be, but Sarah started out with no income, and Cosima and Scott have lost theirs. Siobhán might have had some source of income before, but she's probably lost that with all the moving around and secrecy.

Maybe the Hendrixes are supporting all the deadbeat clones with their drug money / soap shop income. I think with Felix the theory was always that he occasionally manages to sell some artwork or whatever to support himself.

But yeah, now that Felix has an actual story with his non-clone sister Scott has basically inherited his old role, except he isn't gay so he doesn't get invited to hang out at Allison's musical practices. Remember when Felix' whole role was to own a convenient location for clones to meet and occasionally give people new phones when they lost them?

I think at this point Scott also thinks that what Dyad/Neolution/BrightBorn have been doing is some messed up poo poo and so he wants to oppose that if he can help.

Obviously he cares about Cosima as well. He has had a rough ride lately though and it was obvious Cosima's response to his 'trust your lab partner' crack really hurt.

As for money, I suppose Sarah could be getting some from Kira's no-longer-appearing-on-this-show father; I seem to recall he was supposed to be loaded. Heck there's even an off chance the comic store actually makes money.

I thought the show was hinting that Felix is (or at least was, in S1) a male prostitute. One or two of the various men we saw at his place in S1 slipped him cash on their way out (including the big happy black guy that Felix was painting in the nude). And Art called him a "rent boy" at one point.

What was he being booked for in the flashback episode at the start of this season? Wasn't that solicitation?

Donnie Hendrix is a bad, bad man. Who looks like a roast.

So ... Dr. Girlfriend put the swan glitch into Rachel's artifical eye to lead people to her? Evie didn't shoot her after all but stashed her in a cabin on Neolution Island? Or maybe the guy who keeps beckoning to Rachel in the glitch will turn out to be next season's villain? Ugh.

Solid episode otherwise tho. I love Fur Trapper Helena. Hope she managed to scare off Felix' sister for good.

As I recall, she didn't like that they thought she was a spy and so bailed on the whole situation.

And she's definitely hot, even if the casting is a little too good and I can't help but see Felix in her face.

Let me tell you of the world I used to know
"Evie Cho might be a more cunning villain than you, Rachel."
"Her villainy is exactly how we get her. I'll wear a hidden camera and let her confess her crimes to me, then leak the thing to the press."

...and that's how you wrap a storyline about mass distribution of trojan roboworms that alter people's DNA. With a gotcha tape.

Also: everyone is surprisingly okay with torture followed by execution of a man they had a pile of evidence against. It's not like he was the evil mastermind behind the whole thing; just a bad dude who was good at his bad job but BAM! shot with a hunting rifle indoors don't worry about the mess Scott will clean it up in the morning because it's his turn (?) I assume they torture and execute people in the comic book shop every other week.

I think by this point in the story, all the other characters knew that once Mrs. S got her hands on him, it was only a matter of time before he turned into a corpse. Best to just walk away before it happens.

I love how there was that pause after she burst in. It's like she considered sparing EMT guy for a moment, but then decided, "Eh, gently caress it."
I think we can all forgive them, because "Helena ex machina" is always great.

Yeah, I ain't ever gonna complain at tense scenes being resolved with sestra-outta-loving-nowhere followed by *that* music cue and motherfuckers getting an arrow to the neck. They can do it another dozen times if they want, I'm cool with it.

So is this the last series and everything gets wrapped up next week or have they already said there's a fifth?

I haven't heard about official renewal but the showrunner has said before they plan for the show to be 5 seasons long.

I always prefer it when a show gets renewed for "one last season" than canceled, so I'll take it. At least they know they have ten episodes to wrap things up.

Finale is fun so far but the effects on Evie Cho's facebug going haywire looked like crap. Also, I like Krystal's "I <3 ME" shirt.

Yes.


Sarah has dragged herself out to the shore. Her phone rings. It's Ferdinand. He's holding Siobhan and Kira at gunpoint in the comic book store basement.

Cut to Rachel in the house. She Skypes with Van Lier and tells him "the science is secure." He tells her "Mr Westmoreland will see you now." The doorbell rings. Rachel Smiles. Roll credits.

gently caress. I thought we were finally going to see the end of Rachel. With the next season being the last, I'll bet she surivives for at least 8/10 episode because "hey let's beat this loving dead horse a bit more." If they'd spent this season building up Westmoreland instead of Rachel I'd give a gently caress for him showing up as the super bad guy that even Evie Cho and Susan are afraid of/answer to. The 'evil' clone gimmick ran it's course a season ago but it looks like we're going to get another season of it. gently caress, everything else in this show is so good.


Also a rad thing is that the guy playing Dr. Van Lier played Kermit Griffin on the classic, also filmed in Canada, tv show Kung Fu:The Legend Continues. Still recognize him 20 years later, was hoping for an "Oh yeah."

Just watched this not realising it was the last episode, and I feel like nothing actually happened this season. In fact, the more I think about it, the more it feels like this season just raised a bunch of issues and didn't resolve anything. I find myself confused about where a lot of plot threads are now. Like the Castor team, are they all dead or something? And what happened to Paul? And Kira's father? Did I just lose track of these people or did the show lose track of them? And they made a point of reminding us in this episode of Kira's psychic thing, but no one in the show seems to be paying any attention to it at all. What's going on?
