I missed the first few minutes, but it didn't take me long to A) figure things out and B) start feeling a little ill.
I'm pretty tired of the Hollow Earth insurgency storyline at this point, I'll admit that. I don't think I'm the only one.
I was glad to see Kate again, regardless. I'm happy that she's happy, but I've missed her. (Also, I've given up shipping her with anyone but Garris now).
On a more serious note: I don't think I'll ever recover from that split second where I thought she and Magnus and the Big Guy had all been killed. Even though the writers wouldn't do that to us. (Yet).
More on the insurgency arc: I've come to realize that whenever I hear the phrase "die for the Cause," it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Nothing good comes from that sort of thinking.
More so when it's a brainwashed, much-beloved character saying those words. I was genuinely scared that they wouldn't be able to save him, and they'd have to kill him to stop him.
I just want to give Henry a big hug. Seriously. He and the Big Guy are so close, and I can't imagine how helpless he must have felt about the situation. I wish we'd gotten to see them have a scene together at the end; it probably would have made me feel better.
IN CONCLUSION
To bring some lightheartedness back into this, I'm going to reiterate something I said during the third season: I'd like a "Magnus & Freelander Ass-Kicking Hour" on alternate Tuesdays. I would watch the hell out of that. I'm not sure what it would entail, besides the obvious ass-kicking, but I'd watch it.
