Well, I can't say I didn't see this ending coming, but it was well-done. The symbiont adapted too quickly to Govan, something I don't find a coincidence at all, and the family drama came to an end, at least for now. I'm glad the Guardian wanted the two separated but it feels like a hollow victory.

The episode definitely made me think, though, and that's what I have to like best about this (besides family drama, which I always like). Between the deeper questions/thoughts on death, self-sacrifice, and emotional entanglements, and the the family dynamics, I come away pleased.

There are hints of more things to come laced in here, which should make for fascinating reading in the future. :)
