S4E5 - The Desperate Hours

We were honored and grateful to have Simon Barry take the time to get together with us and a large turnout of Continuum fans in a live chat on Monday, October 19 on Blab. Simon answered a ton of fan questions and told us a little bit more about his upcoming projects with RDF, Inc., his new production company.

No one could have predicted this ending, yet not only is it heartbreakingly perfect, it almost seems obvious when you think back on it all. What an incredible conclusion to this unparalleled series! We're sad to see it end, but everyone had their moment, told Kiera what she meant to them, and said their goodbyes.

Chaos reigns in The Desperate Hours! Besides some rip-roaring action and another shocking death, this Continuum episode delivers great character moments of transition as each person has to decide what's really important to them. Will Alec be able to use the portal to send Kiera to the future, or is their plan now shot to hell?

Hugely important time travel questions are finally answered in Zero Hour, and there's no turning back now! Will Kiera be able to use the Time Marines' portal to get back to her time, or will they have to destroy it before an invading force can arrive? I have the feeling I know which option Kellog would pick!

We had so much listener feedback, we had to publish a bonus podcast, but we didn't want to just shuffle it off to one side. So we invited the writers of the latest Continuum episode (Power Hour), Todd Ireland and Jeremy Smith, to join us in listening to fan theories. Not that they could confirm or deny much, but they did share some nice tidbits such as where the Theseus Manifesto came from and a bookend possibility for the season (or is it series?).

Several characters are having to embrace their destinies in Power Hour, and some relationships are suffering because of it. But what is it that Marcellus and his gang are really building? Should Kiera have let Garza blow it up? Would that have changed the tragic end to the battle?

Emily's rescue takes center stage as Kiera, Kellog, and even Liber8 jockey for position. What will her departure mean for Alec and his motley crew? Can Brad and Kiera really trust each other any more? And what is with all of the items Marcellus wants Kellog to buy?

At long last, Continuum has returned, and we're back to discuss the final episodes, starting with Lost Hours. Things pick up where they left off, and the "time marines" are in full force. What will Kellog do now that he's in charge of Piron, and how will Alec and his motley crew overcome his dominance of the future?

The season finale, Last Minute, did NOT disappoint! The team-up we've all been waiting for; a conclusion to the Alec vs. Alec conflict; and a final determination to whether they've changed things... or is it? Plenty of questions still abound, and we're here to discuss them all!

Things certainly have changed for everyone in the series, but no one can say The Dying Minutes didn't give us a few answers even as it posed new ones and took treasured characters away. Some of our questions this week: Who is the Traveler? What are Curtis and Kellog up to? What will Kiera, Alec, and Carlos do now?
