Post by Beth SmarrAARRRGH! Thunderstorm action knocked out my power with 20 minutes till
left - will someone either email me what happened or post a spoiler with
appropriate spoiler space?
Beth
For those who actually watched the full 5 years, it must have
been a major disappointment.
Bad acting, bad script, no climax.
All actors in the crew appeared relieved it was over.
I can say I am pleased that I did Not watch the show
for the past 3 1/2 years.
=========================================
@@@@@@@@@@
K.
[Alarms blaring]
I got it.
[Explosions]
What the hell
are they waiting for?
Orders.
This is like a dream.
I wonder what it's like to die?
I've died a thousand times.
You can only die once, harper.
You don't know my love life.
That's a really old joke.
That's my love life--
old joke.
Kind of like life--
one big joke,
and then you die
without ever
hearing the punchline.
That is a joke.
My head was in a cabinet.
That's a joke.
That's what I remember.
Is that all you remember?
It made me angry.
And then nothing.
Like a dream.
Much better topic.
Let's get back to dreams. Oh!
I don't have dreams.
I have visions.
Doyle has dreams.
I did.
Not anymore.
I miss one of them, though.
I had it all the time.
A strange man
walks up to me in the saloon
when I'm working
and asks me to marry him,
and I say,
"I cannot marry thee
"for I have a love
who sails the deep salt seas.
"And though
he's been gone
"these seven years,
"no man
shall marry me.
"For what if he has died,
or in some battle slain,
"or drowned
in the deep salt sea,
"or found
another love
and he and his new love
both married be?"
"If that is so,
"I wish them both
health and happiness
that burns
across the sea."
And he looks at me
and kisses me and says,
"weep no more,
my own true love...
for I am your long lost love."
I remember waking
and thinking,
"if that never happens to me,
I will cease to exist."
That's beautiful.
[Signal beeping]
I have a ship approaching.
It's a friendly.
Stand back, you freaks!
I'm the matriarch.
[Incoming fire ceases]
Wow.
It's beka. Ha!
Beka, we have you
within our range.
Keep moving.
[Harper]:
Translation--haul ass!
Hey, good to hear from you.
We don't have time
for niceties.
Put the pedal to the metal.
You know, I think I have this
under control.
But stand by.
Surrounded by
two nietzschean fleets?
I don't call that
"under control."
Okay, everybody...
this is your matriarch speaking.
Incidentally, it's nice
to see you all.
You're looking very good.
Now...
what I want you to do,
my loyal and loving subjects,
is to take it
nice and easy here.
I want you
to remain in formation
and let me pass by.
If you do,
I will reward you.
With what...
I'm not exactly sure,
but it's going to be
a very, very big surprise.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey!
That's not being
a very good subject!
Duke left.
You've got
an orca on your sixth.
Andromeda, get ready,
I'm coming in.
Opening hangar 17.
[Metallic scraping]
She's in.
[Groaning] Oh.
Oh.
You can't win.
You're not
an avatar of the suns.
You're an avatar
of the abyss.
And now the nebula
is controlled by it, as well.
Brilliant deduction, captain.
Too bad it's too late
for it to be of any use to you.
Okay...
so...
are we having fun yet?
Oh...
okay...
you set me up.
Must've
been the same
with all the other paradine,
and then you fed them
to the abyss,
but I won't go that easily.
As long
as I'm alive...
you will fail.
I can still make you suffer,
and the rest will die.
Trance will perish--
the only real light
left of the universe.
The oldest,
most powerful sun
will be gone.
I have my orders.
And so do I.
Ah.
The fire princess.
Let me crown you.
Ah!
Trance, join me
while I can still save you.
I do not need to be saved.
You offer me nothing.
Dylan, we need to get
to the route of ages.
I can lead us through.
Sounds good to me. Andromeda.
[Andromeda]
Here, captain.
Take us into the route of ages.
No!
[Maura]: No!
[]
My passing
won't make a difference.
That which
i am the avatar of
is going to destroy you.
It is right
behind us.
The abyss will swallow you up.
Yeah, well, at least
i won't have to put up
with your drivel anymore.
[Trance]: No!
[Abyss voices screaming]
[Screams echoing]
My allergies were so bad,
I just gave up
enjoying the smell of flowers,
fresh cut grass,
and trees.
Until zyrtec.
[ Male announcer ]
No other allergy medicine
is approved...
to treat more indoor and
outdoor
allergies than zyrtec.
The number onentistamine,
prescribed by allergists.
The most common
side effects were...
drowsiness, dry mouth
and tiredness.
Since individual
results may vary...
ask your doctor if zyrtec...
is right for you.
Lots of allergies.
Just one zyrtec.
Well, if we defeat
the abyss,
all chaos
of the universe
will cease.
Well, that ceasing
better happen soon.
The abyss was
right on our tail
when we came through
the route of ages.
We have to take it out.
Without a doubt.
Ah. It's good to know
that we're all
on the same page.
Andromeda,
put the methus diagrams
onscreen, please.
This is what I think.
The diagrams weren't just meant
to stop trance's sun.
They were also meant
to stop the abyss.
In the known worlds
or in the seefra system,
it didn't matter.
The abyss was always
coming after us.
Maura and her friends
were just thaccelerant.
I should've
seen it, boss.
Trance's sun
coming to seefra,
a concentration
of mass,
designed to, uh...
attract a cosmic rendezvous.
A rendezvous with the abyss.
Talk about a date with death.
The vedrans anticipated
all of this.
Those crazy vedrans,
anticipating everything.
But we still haven't figured out
what goes in that empty spot
in the methus diagrams.
Mr. Harper, you disappoint me.
Trance.
Trance was always
supposed to go in there.
That was the plan.
Trance's sun
will be able
to destroy the abyss.
Exactly.
Two trances?
I don't know
if this is a nightmare
or my dream come true.
Dylan,
you have to act.
You have to get her
off this ship. Now.
Dylan, no.
[Second trance]: Somehow,
this impostor has appeared.
She will ruin us.
You have to get rid of her
right now!
Dylan. Now.
No, this isn't right.
Dylan, now.
[Alarms blare]
Please.
[Electricity buzzing]
Ah!
[Thud]
Illusions.
Lies.
Simulations.
You fell for it. Hard.
Mist and mysteries.
Until there was
no way out.
You have to help yourselves.
[As virgil vox]:
Listen to my music.
See the reflections
of your helpless selves.
Rit's virgil vox.
You all listened to my music,
you fools.
I brought you darkness and joy.
But time is running out.
There is no such thing
as time.
The abyss.
[Voices screaming]
[Screams echoing]
How'd you know?
She was crying.
The abyss has no memories.
Nothing to remember or forget.
[Alarm beeps]
What was that?
Let's get moving.
[Sighs]
Am I seeing things,
or have we turned back
toward the route of ages?
What the abyss
fears most
is light.
So, I say
we smother the bastard
with the sun.
Trance's sun.
That's right.
Remember
what flavin said--
find a place
where opposites
cancel time.
Well, that place...
is the route of ages.
Time to cancel time.
Everything I've done
has brought me to this point...
every friend,
every foe,
every fight.
This is where it ends.
It's been an honor
to serve with you.
All of you.
Let's bring it.
Would you look at that?
The abyss.
So, we meet again.
We can't get any closer,
captain.
Oh, yes, we can.
Dylan--
beka...
the fun is just starting.
You've always had
a very strange idea of fun.
Hey, you're the one
who always said
that it's been
one ll of a ride.
It's showtime.
[]
Getting some serious shake,
rattle, and roll, here, boss!
We're sustaining
heavy damage
on all outer decks.
Hull integrity
is severely compromised.
Starboard thrusters
are going critical.
Negate the automatic shutdown.
Beka--
it's too hard!
The gravitational pull
of trance's sun and the abyss--
it's too strong.
You can do this.
No, I can't, it's too much.
Come on, beka.
Beka, this is it.
This is what it all
comes down to,
your whole life.
Come on, you can get us
through this.
[]
Hoo, hoo!
Yeah!
We are free and clear.
And home.
See ya later, you big freak.
Speaking of which,
I haven't been this happy
since tyr left.
I knew I could do it.
I'M...the best.
Oh, my god.
I'm so relieved
i could kiss harper.
Hey, why not?
I'm not proud.
It's a figure of speech.
Damage report?
Thrusters are out.
A.P. Systems
are off-line.
I'm initiating repairs.
Time to completion,
one hour 26 minutes.
The fact that we have time
is all we need to know.
Trance?
Are you okay?
Dylan, I'm happy,
but I'm also sad.
My god.
Look at that.
It is my sun.
The abyss is dead.
[Doyle]: Captain,
the route of ages
has turned into
a slipstream portal.
Tarn vedra has rejoined
the known worlds.
[Comm receiver beeps]
I'm picking up
a distress signal.
It's rhade.
Let's hear it.
[Rhade]: My family is safe.
But I'm out of fuel.
I'm coming in very hot.
I have his location.
Let's go get him.
I'm on my way.
Trance.
Prep med deck.
Aye.
I'll help.
Yes, he's a nietzschean,
but he's a friend.
A good friend.
Regardless of
his bad sense of style.
Doyle, take
a slipfighter for escort
and make sure rhade
makes it back to the maru.
With pleasure.
Would you like
to be alone, captain?
Yes. Yes, I would.
Andromeda.
Aye, captain.
Just checking.
[Sighs]
Five years...
[Scoffs]
Three hundred...
and eight years.
I'm home again.
I'm home.
[]
Yes!
Andromeda,
I know winning isn't everything,
but I sure could
get used to this feeling.
