Watched the last episode. It was OK. I quite enjoyed it as a wrapping up for the characters (who are still alive) and the wrapping up of an OK-but-not-great space-opera war story. I still think it's sad that so many extraordinary stories were kind of side-stepped in the final series. The detective (Joe Millar) was such a huge character from the early seasons, that everything felt lightweight when he was gone. There were some other big characters, but a major part of the balance had gone. The single biggest mystery, the proto-molecule and who created it and why, was sort of glossed over in a mad rush for a satisfactory ending. Anyway, still one of the better scifi series on the telly box.
And at least the books follow on with bigger answers in a more-or-less coherent way.He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar
