Defying Gravity Re-watch

Ep. 13 - Kiss

Donner narrating:

"I don’t know where you find courage. There isn’t a map.
It kind of follows the road of emotion.
Sometimes stopping your conviction and anger.
Other times parking beside fear.
Courage plays no favorites, takes no sides.
It can be as impressive as a walk on Venus,
or as simple as a kiss.
And sometimes in our darkest hours,
courage is all we have.

Donner bends over unconscious Zoe and gently kisses her.
Zoe opens her eyes and smiles.

Ep. 13 - Kiss

That’s it.
There is no more.

Great 13 episodes.
So sad it was cancelled.

Thank you for reading.

Further thoughts

This is what I thinks happens next…

Zoe
Zoe miraculously recovers, but not so miraculously, because Zoe’s DNA (like the rest of the Antares crew & Eve) has been altered by Beta.

She realizes there was no baby. She and Donner talk about what they are to each other.

Nadia[/b]
She continues to see the twin-man. It’s her twin brother? Was she somehow responsible for his death?


Jen

Again Jen cannot see the either Beta or Gamma objects. She can’t figure why she was “chosen” for the mission.

Wass[/b]
He is on the mission because at some point he will be able to figure out something crucial for the mission’s success.

There’s some cool music in this series.

Just to name 5…

  • Start A Way -The National
  • Everything I Build -The Stills
  • Hope For The Hopeless -A Fine Frenzy
  • That Home -Cinematic Orchestra (very short)
  • Blood’s Too Rich -Luke Doucet

Rollie:[/b]
He turns himself into the police.
He’s kicked out on Mission Control.

Arnel[/b]
He becomes Trevor, the reporter’s inside man, leaking all manner of stuff to the press.
Arnel is so full of anger, resentment and disappointment, that his judgment is unbalanced.
He grows to hate Beta and his kind.

This is what I think happens next…

Jen & Ted[/b]
They again become lovers.
Ted can no longer trust Eve. He feels he really doesn’t know her.
Jen can’t feel close to Rollie - he’s too far away. So she turns to Ted.

Paula[/b]
She finally acknowledges some very difficult truths from her childhood.
She loses her faith for awhile, then regains it again, in the form of an altered, more mature stance in the universe.

The Antares Mission continues, but each retrieval gets more and more difficult.

As the mission continues, no one knows whether to trust Beta.
There still are no answers as to purpose.
And is all this effort to any advantage to humanity.
