Knowing this show's sick sense of humor, I would argue that the reveal of Leekie's head was very intentionally funny.The scene with Leekie's head was unintentionally funny.

Yes, her world view was shattered. Great episode. I have no idea how everything is going to shake out in the final episodes.Great Rachel episode tonight. One of the tensions of the show since she was introduced at the end of the first season has been the question of whether she would ever be able to see herself as one of the sestras. Tonight we finally got our answer.
A lot of series fall victim to that, where they know heading into the season that it's going to be their last, and then tell a normal season story with a rushed wrap up at the end.The show is good as it always is but I do have a critique of this season. Up until the past episode, the season has not had a feeling that the story is nearing an end that nearly all serialized dramas have when they reach their conclusion.
I'll use spoiler text since it's a big momentWhen Ferdinand shot Mrs. S, my initial thought was "Oh man, Sarah is going to f--- this guy up so bad when she gets a hold of him." but I loved that they let the mortally wounded Mrs. S take him out instead.
Engers is really terrible. I don't think Art will kill her when they encounter each other presumably early in the finale, but maybe it happens later. Did Castor Mark actually die in the episode? If he is not completely dead yet, it would be more fitting for him to kill Engers as revenge for Gracie as a last gasp.With Ferdinand dead and Cody (presumably) dead, the next person who needs to buy the farm is Art's duplicitous Neo partner. She delights in being just awful.
And I can't wait to see what sort of body horror they've cooked up for "P.T. Westmoreland" when he finally gets his cure for mortality.
I figured they killed off Gracie to set up Mark killing Cody, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My guess is that they wanted to clear the board of Castors so that the finale would be entirely Leda-centric.Did Castor Mark actually die in the episode?

I definitely would like a time jump. If not to an adult Kira, at least far enough into the future that we can see what lives they've created for themselves once the battle with Dyad/Neolution ended.(And will we get a jump in time to an adult or teenage Kira?)
Absolutely. I was afraid they'd have too much to cram into the last episode and any kind of epilogue would be real quick.The best, most crucial decision was to go the Return of the King route and devote the last half hour to the aftermath.
Yeah, it was equally funny and touching.Helena naming her twin boys Arthur and Donnie, after two real men, was incredibly powerful.
Yeah, even with the bad things that happened there, it's nice to know that the three of them (I'm assuming Felix at least has a room in there) are together and happy in that house.Most powerful of all, though, was Sarah, Felix and Kira heading out for a day at the beach from the house that all three of them grew up in, the same in the big ways but different in the little ways that have made it their home now, and not Mrs. S's.
It was this whole elaborate dance thing, a cross between the actors dancing in a studio and fan-submitted videos of #CloneClub viewers dancing in their homes:Also, what played after the credits? Was it just the Manson and Fawcett thank you? I watched the episode On Demand and the M&F thing was in the last commercial break and there was nothing after the credits.
It was a great finale. What was also interesting about the dance thing is I thought we were seeing some of the stand-ins that they have to have for the shooting.It was this whole elaborate dance thing, a cross between the actors dancing in a studio and fan-submitted videos of #CloneClub viewers dancing in their homes
Lots of nice answers/speculation to various questions people may have.
