Rahm Tak's reaction to Datak cutting off his arm was so funny (to me). I loved that whole part. He had to go, everything was building to it and if they dragged it out much longer it probably would have been annoying, but now that he's gone, I think I might actually miss crazy Rahm Tak. He was so over the top insane he was actually pretty funny.sigpic

I have a bit mixed feelings after seeing this episode.
While the episode itself was pretty great, the victory over Rahm Tak came too easily and abruptly in the end. Although this point falls if by blowing the net they actually lost their one and only defence and are now vulnerable to any incoming raids.
Then there is a question of Datak Tarr. He's one of my most liked characters and him (seemingly) dying last episode made for an incredibly powerful scene. Him being still alive then felt like I was cheated. And not only didn't Datak die the previous episode, he didn't even die this episode either. Oh well, I'll probably forgive the show that after Datak is back to his plots and schemes.

I think Datak has become a bit more humble, remembering what his father said about honor and decided to cut off his own arm so he could repent but still have a chance to find Stahma.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

But for awhile there, yeah, I thought he was gone.
Also the death of Rahm Tak felt abrupt to me because I believed this threat would last the whole season. And I have no idea what they intend to do with the last 5 episodes. The Omec storyline can't fill them by itself, I fear.

Datak is almost certainly not dead. There would be no narrative point in him escaping by cutting off his arm if he were just going to die anyway."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"
*You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer!*
"Arise, Woolseyus Prime."
"Elizabeth..."

Obviously, now he's alive and probably staying that way as long as the show runs.
But at the same time, do you think he can/will return to Defiance? For one, everyone believes he's dead. Two, Amanda was quite clear she'll pardon him postmortem. Technically, he's still to be executed. Three, he'll probably care most about finding Stahma (that we know isn't in Defiance anymore).
Either way, i believe he'll go into hiding, but I'm not sure if in Defiance or if he'll want to regain forces and information somewhere else (assuming he's actually capable of getting somewhere else).
