Am I the only one getting a little impatient with the prison sequence? It feels like they're marking time while Jaq, Kendry, and Khlyen get into position.

I'm just kind of in a state of 'brace for impact' waiting for the finale -- I'm enjoying all of the character interactions, but nowadays if a show goes for a "victory only comes with significant character death(s)" ending it generally leaves me emotionally checked out and can be a retroactive show-killer.

That being said, I really did enjoy the Khlyen scenes.

"Could you ask your daughter to stop staring at me? It's creepy."
"I'll talk to her."

The Johnny-Dutch split/tension/imaginary past is so painful. I don't know if there's a good way of getting past the pretend-past. (Yeah! I'm finally caught up.)
