No, I mean S3. I agree that it’s very continuous, but the endings, like this one, tend to not really *end*, y’know? I just don’t think that the “cliffhanger”-type endings that the Beans used (and use again in this ep) are used that well. Take for instance, the end of “Garden.” We see Garden about to be attacked, and…well, that’s it. Rather than end on a note of surprise, it seems as if they just ran out of time, and let the episode end. Same here, really. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, IMHO, some of the S3 eps, and this one in particular, don’t really end on a note that feels like things are in motion — the endings jolt the viewer to a total stop, and instead of the initial reaction being “what’s going to happen,” my initial reaction is “it’s *over*?” It’s not really a completely *bad* thing, it’s just kind of jarring.
