As I've said on every forum I post on: I want to frakking cry!

Also Kara vanishing like that, without so much as a kiss good-bye, might've been okay IF ONLY it didn't leave Lee standing alone in the field. My gods but that hurt to see. I'm literally sobbing in public every time I think of it.

The rest of the finale was okay, admittedly stretching credulity a bit. A coda about how nearly 40,000 homo sapiens could land on Earth and start interbreeding with Homo Rhodesiensis and NOT push evolution forward a couple dozen millennia would have been helpful.

I'm presently writing my way through the five stages of grief so to make sense of it.

THAT all said, please please please please please please please please PLEASE continue with "Edge" soon!!! Sure, I know where its going, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it all over again.

See weirdly enough, that's the part of it that sort of made it work for me. It was amazingly tragic and awful for Lee, but because it made me feel so sad, I consider that somewhat successful. Because it made me feel something about loss and soulmates and coming so close to something mysterious and destined and never quite being able to have that because it's beyond the realm of mere human experience. I don't like feeling that; I wanted to feel happy, but it did have that emotional power, whereas a lot of the rest of the episode just made me feel confused.
