Well, this week's episode took care of that.
I don't know. For some reason I feel she'll be back.

That was yet another solid episode. I'm also wondering who's getting canned next week, according to the previews.

One reviewer suggested that maybe Datak would win the race, Kenya would die and Amanda would take over the Need/Want (running it, not being an escort) which I think would be an interesting twist on things. I actually would not be surprised if Datak won, in any case. It's just too delicious of a possibiilty to play with for a season at least. I do think he's going to drop E-Rep like a stone if he wins, though.
If that scenario plays out, what happens to Nolan? Isn't the Lawkeeper chosen by the Mayor?
He already quit!
Tonights the finale! Hope they keep up the momentum and deliver!

Spoiler:
First of all, let's get the death thing out of the way. With this, Defiance ended up being a bit predictable as Kenya was written out of the show (she was, right? You don't think Stahma has her stashed away?) but I admired the WAY they did it. For one thing, Kenya was no fool. She knew it was a trap. She just didn't realize what kind of trap. Stahma's last line was wonderfully alien. If she is dead, it felt strangely emotionless. Like something that was inevitable. I don't dislike that, in some ways. "Pretty Little Human." I don't know though... they could just be saving the resolution to this for next season. But part of me did wonder if Kenya is actually dead. Hmm...
The election storyline - It's weird how something that seemed so important ended up feeling a bit sidelined here. The election is over pretty quick, and Datak Tarr wins. I am actually sad that Datak ruined it for himself so quickly. But, it's totally within character for him to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I was looking forward to a partial season with Datak as mayor. However, it looks like we're going to get the E-reps taking over town instead. I mean, in a more blatant way. Then again, maybe if they drive the E-Rep out, Tarr will say his slaying of the Major was him fighting back? And he'll get to be Major?
I was a bit annoyed that Black Jonah was just dropped on the scene here. I think it would have been better for a more established character to be here. Maybe the evil Ambassador from a few episodes back? It seems like she should have been in this episode. I guess her plot line will be a slower burning one into next season.
I really wish we could get some insight into what the hell Doc Yewll is doing here. What is her motivation? I found this aspect to be very annoying. She told Nolan everything and he didn't kill her, so I guess we're meant to think her motives are pure, as she is trying to help Irisa. I still wonder though...
So that is a Votan ship down there? They've been searching for it for three thousand years? And didn't it crash 20,000 years ago? Is it the ship itself that is Irzu? Calling out to her? The fact that this story line took over the finale should be no surprise, I guess. I didn't think they'd go all Game of Thrones and off Nolan for real. But it was a good motivation for Irisa. I wonder how different she'll be when she comes out?
