Yeah it was insane. It really needed to pick up with only 3 eps left
I'm certainly gonna watch it another three times or so. It was a wild rollercoaster. I still can't get over Siobhan actually died... ...our power mom since day 1. I knew it was gonna happen because of the hints and last weeks promo of 'we can't show you anything' but I was still surprised and utterly shocked that Mrs. S got killed off ---
I thought it was okay, I liked the Felix stuff but everything else was frustrating. I did not like the way S died. She should've been prepared and she should've had a contingency for Ferdinand. It was absolutely out of character for her to die the way she did and for what? Other than "shock" value, her death doesn't really move the plot over nor was it a sacrifice to protect the family. This is a character that was shown to have contingency plans and a network of people to work with her in the previous seasons, yet somehow she puts her guard down, and gave Ferdinand an opportunity to shoot her. She shouldn't have hesitated just like when she put down Duko. The worst part is that she knew he had a chance of escaping, and Rachel also warns her that he's alive. It was a death that could've been prevented easily. Ugh, it was just really messy writing which killed any emotional weight of her death for me. Like before all that, she wrote a letter for Sarah or Felix, as if she knows she's going to die, as if Ferdinand can't be beat. What the heck?
Also didn't like how it was basically all Siobhan who gets the sisters their freedom and pretty much begins the destruction of Neolution. Like it should've been the sisters and Sarah to do that or at least be involved in doing that.
You should really put the season number of the show you are discussing in the title as well.
Eh, I'll do that but I thought it was obvious since it's the final season/season 5 that gets a new episode weekly.

I agree, I didn't understand much of it either. But I think Sarah will feel much of guilt and the clones (maybe not Rachel?), Art, Felix, Adele and Delphine have never been more motivated to put an end to this, as, Mrs S was loved and respected by all of them. Also, totally out of this but I hate how slow Helena's sub plot moves, she got like one scene in last episode and only two in this one. Alison, Cosima and Rachel got more or less a full episode dedicated to them, do we think Helena will get one as well or do we really have too little screen time for that? ---
