More good work from Alan as Harry, plenty of good set ups for him to clown around with,so it was good to see the final episode of series 3 stay true to the central character and main topic. Series three has definitely been the better for it, just as series 2 suffered greatly for drifting from it.

There was even some decent plot with Kate strategizing how to save her lost child, but things did get a bit chaotic and hard to follow on the ship, but luckily some good comedy opportunities for Harry while there.

The last 3rd of this episode just flung as many plot elements at the screen as it could and it became hard to focus and take it all in and make sense of it.

Maybe they're not getting renewed and they wanted to go out with a bang?

Personally I thought series 3 on the whole was a solid step in the right direction, and reclaimed a lot of lost ground from series 2. I was going to abandon ship at the end of series 2 and a lot of people have noted as much in their series reviews. It felt like a completely different show and not one I would have ever bothered watching, but if there is a series 4 and they can keep up the good work they did to make series 3 mostly fun and funny, I'll come back for more.

A sad and rushed finale for a hilarious series.

So many gaps that could have been whole episodes.

Maybe if the writers had stuck to the core stories and not get distracted on irrelevant and pointless "filler" characters, they could have had a future and an audience.

The writers lost the plot chasing zero zero character arcs - hopeless. Great solid actors were thrown under the bus like Jenna while .

They wasted the first nations arc by climaxing in a dance??? It resulted in tokenism and stereotypical stuff.

They finishing writing team had a few seasons of great ideas that were left hanging - so sad.

Warning: Spoilers
Bummer is this the last episode?, is there more? Seems like cliff hanger. It got pulled? I hope not . The baby is back thats great humor. Another alien race shows up, this one looks like praying a Mantis bug looking monster. A great cast of actors: Linda Hamilton Terry O'Quinn and the humor is priceless even given the seriousness of the abduction and alien hybrid programs. We need a good laugh in this challenging world. I hope there is another season. Scarry subjects like the alien's agenda to take over the earth which is not the best for humans. Alan Tyduk is an amazing talent and the writers of this show. The Darcy character and girlie talk is unnecessary and boring. The tin foil is nice flash back to others alien movies. Cheers!

I was so looking forward to the finale and in the beginning it was going in the right direction and then I am not sure what happened. The entire last half of the episode were full of plot holes. Every seance literately had a plot hole. It felt like they got a bigger budget than they were planning on so they spent the money on effects. If we like the show turned into a syfi movie. Like so many comedies , and I consider this a comedy 1st that is I am sure why most people watch it it seemed to fall in love with it own writing and felt like every scene had to be some personal revelation. But really without going into detail and spoilers the last 20 minutes was just out of control.
