Just Lana, and I thoroughly enjoyed that part.
I... can't... help... but love that show! How come a slice-of-life show without any supernatural thing whatsoever has the best badass fight scenes of the season, not to mention awesome characters?

@dewdropvelvet I cackled and am still cackling after dozens of rewatches.
Somehow it's sad that the story of this show has only occasionally any resemblence to historical events. For example Czar Peter wasn't a dimwit at all, they were married for 20 years (they hated each other though) and he was only king for six months until he was toppled and died "under mysterious circumstances".
The real life of Catherine the Great was fascinating enough to make a compelling TV show. Why would you chose to turn it into an overly ridiculous fantasy story?loading replies
@onlime For laughs and fun... and they nailed it precisely.
I'm cautiously optimistic based on this first episode. It seems faithful to the book and I really like the cast.
I felt like maybe there was too much awkward exposition up front and yet I still feel like I would be pretty lost if I didn't already know the story.
Were there helicopters in the book? I don't remember that and it seemed out of place with the 1920s technology feel of the rest of the world. Also, it felt like only the main characters had daemons with none in the background.
But, there were also moments here where I was completely entranced by the story being told. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

I thought it was a beautifully told if simple story... I’ve been reading critics reviews and am wondering why some people even bother if they’re going to compare everything to GoT, and then complain because the show isn’t a perfect season.
I think it’s as good a first season as anyone can expect from any show that’s not Battlestar Galactica.
The costume design was impeccable, the set design so wonderfully rich, which is impressive considering there is so much grey. Whoever was responsible for the lighting did an amazing job of giving it a complete personality in this narrative.
The performances were a little uneven here and there, but what first season has a perfect possession of every character? None, that’s how many.
All in all it’s a glorious entry, and I love the way The Fae are presented, and as gritty the allegories are with Nazism and the nascent authoritarianism and white nationalism on the loose in the U.S., I appreciate the tone and structure of the politics and how it’s played out from the top down.
I enjoyed this tremendously and am looking forward to more yarn for this story...

ok, if little John is played by a black actor then Nelson Mandela could be played by a white actor, in the name of equality.

@vineri131 Your history might be a little stilted mate... there have been 'black' people in Britain since... well the beginning. But insist on your white version of history... de Nile is a river in Africa.

@sicarius13 I agree entirely. In this day and age where diversity is being sought out, what a cop out to have such whack ass accents when the real thing is available. Affrontery indeed!
This was a great wrap up of this show. And someone needs to write Kala-Rajan-Wolfgang fanfic immediately

@cacione Oh the way I laughed when I read your comment.
I've just got around to watching the finale, and as a practitioner of the ATRS, it is incumbent upon to register my disappointment in the production team and @RonDMoore for producing this racist shit for television.
There are any number of ways they could have portrayed the African Traditional Religions, however they chose Hollywood's white washed view of MY religious traditions, instead of anything like historical accuracy, or for that matter anything congruent with truth.
There are any number of practitioners that could have advised them, but they chose to prey upon the traditional view of Europeans towards African religions instead of treating it with respect. I am so disappointed in their handling of this portion of the story, it's my lowest rated episode of this show, ever.
And after three seasons, I find myself questioning this show's integrity. Just to be clear: the kind of hodgepodge shit that you portrayed on screen borrowed from several traditions and did not portray any of them fairly or accurately.
#disappointedasfuck in all of them. The ATRs are not some hodgepodge you can borrow from to colour your story without committing to accuracy. How could they get it so wrong in 2017?

@hdfan Thank you for mansplaining and whitesplaing that for me.
I know you and 'nobody care', however you don't control what observations I make and or valid complaints I lodge in the Internet ether.
Which makes your comment vapid at best and unnecessary (dismissive and racist as well) at worst.
I am somebody. And I actually give a fuck, you can't dismiss my life experience because 'it was a great finale'.
I mean you can, but you really can't.

@phunkie I think them going their way is a beautiful way to end the story... I cried because it was goodbye for them. They didn't get to earth to be together... but to be at peace. Daybreak 1 & 2 are our final insights into these characters and firm goodbyes, and it always makes me cry.

I fall more and more in love with Kim Chi at every episode, but I had to say I really could have slapped Acid Betty at some point there. Thorgy was great and I'm surprised she didn't win, because I loved her performance and look both! I really disliked Laila, not impressed with Dax, looooooved Naomi's runway, and I don't think Acid Betty's nice looks can make up for her awful personality at all, but at least she tries. Gigi is an amazing dancer, but her runway was sooo boring... a little sad, really. The others. eh, just disappeared to the background.
As for the elimination: truly, is anyone even surprised? If you can't lipsync I Will Survive, your gay/drag subscription needs to be revoked ASAP.loading replies

One of the best Sci-Fi Series I know. The biggest issue for me is its focus on military aspects (however, this is not as bad in the first season as it is in the following ones).
loading replies
The thing is, the first season they were still so fresh into their flight, the flat out run, that the laxity showed. By the second season, it's the military and like Lee said in 'Season 4', they became a 'gang' on the run... plus it's a show about a warship, at war, in desperation, so yeah... military.
