So, for the last two eps - hey, it could've been worse! Ending on indefinite cryo-stasis is a bit like an ending in some ways, and it suggests maybe there was some anticipation of cancellation amongst the SGU creative team. And hey, they're in there for 3 years, so that gives some breathing room for resurrecting SGU in miniseries/TV movie form. Hmm?
I'm just happy it wasn't a finale ending on a giant throw-the-kitchen-sink-at-you firefight. I believe the other season and half-season finales took something of this form. The hunted-to-desperation theme was a nice change of pace.
Bummer that Dr. Park was left blind - of the relationshippy arcs, hers (+ Greer and occasional competitive streak w/Volker) was the most interesting at the present time. Personally, I'm rooting for her to stay with Greer, since although he's kind of from a different world, they've bridged that to the point where they respect and "get" one another. Volker seems more like he's putting her on a pedestel, and even though they're (professional) peers, I don't see how that can really compete.
And since the series is cancelled, there's no one in authority to tell me otherwise! Volker will slowly come to the realization that he's gay, and that all his banter and arguing with Brody was only masking his true feelings. Brody and Volker pair off to become the quintessential bickering married couple, whose arguments fuel their passion for one another. Of course, all that can be had off camera, as those two don't have quite the quarter-bouncing potential of Park & Greer.
The rest of the fan-/slash fic, I leave to you. The series is over, so your voice is equally valid with anyone else's. Go nuts! ;-)
