Flashforward 20 (spoilers)

[ewx]

One day to go!

Campos’ hat suits Lita (who was last seen recruiting Janis Hawk).

Gabrielle says Frost chose the date; perhaps contradicting the possibily that the date was chosen to match the mechanism design from episode 18. He’s very agitated that things need to work out right: but just what is his definition of “right”? Does he mean a good outcome, or does he just mean what he saw?

Benford did make Janis after all. Clever Benford l-)

Does the capture of Hellenger imply that the conspiracy has been rolled up? Alda Hertzog and Lita are probably still out there, ditto the gloriously creepy Carline. If Jericho are connected to the conspiracy (or even if they’re not) then they could still generate a lot of trouble before Joyce Clemente puts a stop to them.

Campos’ hat suits Lita

It suits Campos too, come to think of it. It's a very nice hat :)

but just what is his definition of “right”? Does he mean a good outcome, or does he just mean what he saw?

Hmm, I was assuming 'right' means what he saw. But there coul easily be more to it. Have to wait and see, I guess.

Does the capture of Hellenger imply that the conspiracy has been rolled up?

I hope not, because he just doesn't seem like the 'Big Guy' baddie I was hoping for. I hope there's more to it. Maybe when everything starts to come together more will be revealed.

P.S. I heard some sad news yesterday - FF has been cancelled. Shame :(

P.P.S. I guess the ending of this episode finally makes sense of why Janis revealed her duplicity (but not her triplicity) to Simon.

FF has been cancelled

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, yes, it'd be nice to see more of it. On the other hand, Heroes got a 2nd season and I rapidly lost interest. It might be better to go out on a high note.

he just doesn't seem like the 'Big Guy' baddie I was hoping for

It would be a bit of an anticlimax. Perhaps we should expect a big reversal in the final episode (e.g. Benford was behind it all from the start). Hellenger certainly had the potential to be a calculating evil mastermind but I don't think we've seen enough of him for that to come out.
