Well, finally had time to watch this weeks .... lots happening .... it will be interesting to see if it comes back next year.
If so they clearly have places to go with the story line ... however I think next year will still be a Sandstorm year where 80% will be dedicated to Sandstorm ... Sandstorm could be done with if they kill Shepard when they have the chance .... sure others would continue her mentality, but shes pulling the strings.
This Season Finale looked as if it was the end ... made before Season 3 was picked up ?
Fwiw, it will get its rating from DVRs even more next year as it will be moved to Friday night.
I don't know enough about the rating as in, if it's dvr'd does it count as being seen that night, if its watched 40 minutes later, if I watch it the next day, does that not count in the ratings ... I don't know.
I watch it live when I'm home, but often times will watch it later or next day.
