Whoever wrote and directed this episode needs a serious pat on the back. This is probably my favourite episode of Season Two and from the promo's initially, I never thought I would say that.
They didn't force the whole God Complex onto us, the notion of faith vs science and everything didn't really feel like it was being spoon-fed to us either. The acting was all superb, especially from the actor portraying Cain (again, something I never thought i'd say).
There was some really visceral moments, some really superbly acted scenes and a really great premise in the Faith Aliens. Naming the planet Eden was a nice touch as well. Also instead of losing something like most episodes we gained a new shuttle, a kino and insight into the aliens themselves. The idea that they allowed the Eden settlers to come back to the ship and live with their companions one last time was really special.
I know this thread serves no practical purpose, but I'm sorry, I just needed to say all of that. The theme running throughout this episode....everything. This episode they really nailed the general feeling I was hoping for with this show.
Bravo guys, excellent work.
