A shot of her standing infront of Sadtech and holding the time travel sphere in one hand and some memento of her son in the other as if she was going to try and go back for a do-over.

I'd like to thank Kellog for confirming that putting Kellog inside Kellog is in fact a paradox.

So there's one of the Kellog's soldiers who is still alive in the past? Presumably in jail probably. This show was so awesome and I want more.

Did you just discover the show recently? Most of us suffered through 6 months of hell waiting to find out if we'd ever get anything more than TIME MARINES OUT OF loving NOWHERE. I'm just thanking whatever TV god is up there that we got what we did, warts and all.

I totally didn't see Kellogg Daughter happening, but I did see him trying to screw Kiera (and loved how they screwed him back). Kiera's ending though - it was the best possible world. And she can't go back in time to be with alex and friends because they don't remember her doing that. I agree with the other posters - shame we didn't see more of TimeTravelJesus but what we had wasn't bad.

This was such an amazing show, and I am truly sad we didn't get more of it. But that finale was great. Kiera's honest speech to Dillon was perhaps my favorite part. Kellogg is totally going to rule his own North American Empire and loving hot natives for the rest of his life pretty much in a decade or two so good job Alec?

Brutal but perfect. She could have stayed, she could have lived a happy life, but her addiction to that reality that couldn't ever exist again loving her personal happiness was so drat sweet. Her reunion with Alec was great and then you get that bomb dropped. drat I loved it. Been with the show since the beginning and I'm glad for the way it ended.

You almost had me show, I was about to say gently caress off and I got the cathartic ending I wanted. Keira got what she deserved and that's all that matters to me.

Of course on the flipside if the show got more seasons Kiera might have had the best of all worlds with more time for her character to naturally develop. This has almost been like a choose-your-own-adventure game like Resonance or Gemini Rue. Where you have different endings based on your choices, you can easily see how different endings could be possible based on different choices; Kiera could have stayed (and possibly saved Dillon?). Kellog could've had a change of heart if Kiera was slightly nicer, I think an argument can be made what Kellog really wanted at one point was to belong but Liber8 burned that bridge. I want a Continuum adventure game now.

There was some really wonky CGI shots this episode but despite that, it managed to be a pretty good episode and a satisfying finale. Kudos to the show for being a decent genre programme that did not experience any decline in quality, managed to go out on its own terms, and pulled of its ending.

"That little poo poo." I laughed out loud when they cut to Kellogg in the forest. I also laughed (but not as much) when Vasquez told him who she was before she died. I also thought Garza would be the one in that power armor, and when dude yelled for Weaver, she'd take him out and then go after the rest of the time marines, and the Piron guys, and Curtis. Cigarette Smoking Man being so happy was just weird. Dude looks creepy when his smile is that big.

Only just got to watch The Final Hour. I had to move across the country this weekend (BACK TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, which is basically my equivalent of 2077 :happysun:) A fitting end to one of the best SF shows in history. I especially loved that Kiera still had to sacrifice being with Sam even though she did get to see that he was living in a wonderful new world - with alternate-her. I'd wondered how she could ever reunite with him, since there would always be another Kiera if Liber8 never existed. If she succeeded in creating a better world and returned to the future, this was the only way it could end, and it made it a powerful punch in the gut. Beautiful, beautiful show. Now I want to know what Simon Barry is doing next.

Both the Sadtec Old Alec and Happy Alec both managed to perfectly capture the older regretful corporate overlord Alec and redeemed happy young alec's mannerisms perfectly. quote:if Liber8 never existed. Happy Kagame was even weirder. Such a contented and happy zen buddhist.

Just watched the final episode. Great show, the ending (and season 4 in general) felt rushed but still satisfying. I think if the show had lived for longer we would have found out more about the traveler. It implies that the original future is very similar to the one we saw at the very end, because the traveler presumably orchestrated events to get back to that point. The moment between young and old Alec was very cool, and was the only time we saw the traveler take a direct hand in events but it really was the key event that caused all the time travel craziness to occur. My one question is, what happened that screwed things up in the first place? They said the traveler was meant to go back in time and observe, but that he changed something by accident that hosed things up. I wish we could have learned more about that but I suppose it doesn't really matter too much. I thought it was very fitting how Kellog ended up. If he had just helped Carlos and company stop the invasion, then future him wouldn't have come back to harvest his organs and he would have been free to do whatever he wanted. But his selfish nature finally got the best of him.

The only thing I missed in how they wrapped it up was how the death of all those VPD officers was blamed on Piron and this was instrumental in blocking corporate militarization.

If this was implied on screen I missed it too, but it definitely makes sense. Particularly if Alec works to see things work out differently.

Going back was the only way to save his skin You'd think, but he's wealthy, has lawyers, and the whole time travel nonsense makes it difficult to pin much on him without opening many cans of various amounts of worms. If he had helped them and gone quietly it's certainly possible he could've gotten a more dignified ending, maybe negotiate for house arrest or something.

One of my favorite things throughout the series is that Kellog always wanted to/suspected someone else was going to go back to the spot where they all arrived and ice them all en masse to prevent Liber8 in the present and Kiera. It's such a slimy time traveler's move that it owns.

Only thing I didn't like in the finale is there should have been more Garza. She snapped a neck or two and had a brief conversation about ~destiny~ but that's about it. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.

I'm pretty sure that Kellogg vanishing doesn't mean Piron automatically reverts to the guy he usurped. Kellogg would have taken steps to forever bar Alec from gaining power again, so I wonder how he did. Or, if he did. Always possible he forged the new future without Piron, or Piron's absence was one of the reasons the changes came to pass.
