The Beholder

I wish I could thank the writers for producing a happily satisfying season. Great acting, props were ok, decent camera work blah blah but its the writing I really enjoyed: I love the plot device of just skipping ahead (ostensibly "to the good bit") ha made me feel clever and respected, like my time's being valued. It's just a plot device (like a button push) but it gave me confidence that the writers weren't scrabbling for ideas in the middle of season 4; there's somewhere they cant wait to get to!

And then they delivered with good action, even sidelined the protagonist for a bit, gave us well paced and moreish episodes. That dad character (can't be arsed googling his name) I feel is too pretty in evrrything he does but he was fine casting. Tricia Helfer still a great bad guy and that other actor from battlestar galactica made an excellent colnel. Cant wait to watch season 5: hurry the hell up guys!

As soon as the writers brought in these 2 girls to the show it spelled the beginning of the end. Their story line sucks and neither one of them can act to save their miserable lives. Please stop the madness and just keep the show the way it was !!!

I think if we had all the Elders stories completed in this episode, and with Vanessa present this would have been a better finale.👍

The plot and execution of the season finale is really childish and stupid, acting sucks, scenario sucks and directing even worse.

You really fu****d up this nice series.

The show is occasionally a bit silly but generally it is fun, entertaining and engaging. This season has a lot more silly bits than previous seasons and has slowly but surely turned into a silly teen drama. This episode has just too many silly bits and is wholly predictable Clearly the studio reduced the budget for the fifth season so cut a bunch of the key actors in the 4th and reduced cost overall. But still worth watching and giving the 5th season a go.
