It's definitely one of my favorite shows ever......and managed to do so while being outside my favorite genres, which says something.

Finished it an hour ago.This show is made of WIN.
JyL:
oops I forgot I made this thread. Spoilers:
One comment I'd add about the series' ending is that it was kind of abrupt. All the conflicts just seemed to solve themselves or ended too easily. It just felt too neat. The gap between episode 24 and 25 was a bit jarring to me considering the buildup of the last 5 or 6 episodes leading up to it. And I understand it could've been an artistic choice, but I don't like how the 2 major plot points ended off camera and in flashback (Tanabe/Claire on the moon, Hachimaki/Hashim on the ship). Also, the terrorists getting their demands met and preventing the crash by themselves was a pretty big surprise/anticlimax.

The deal that stopped the crash was one of the coolest things I've seen in any show. Two businessmen calmly negotiate the biggest business deal in the history of humanity while one threatens to murder an entire city and destroy humanity's space capabilities, and the other actually holds out for the best terms. Easily the best single episode I've seen in a science fiction show, especially with the Ai/Claire cliffhanger. The change of pace was certainly jarring, but so were the events of that episode, especially for Ai.

When I saw Ai on wheelchair I almost cried.I really liked that in the end she remained true to her qualities and didn't use Claire's oxygen tank.
Claire's development over the course of the series was excellent.
