Really enjoyed the finale, especially Taylor giving Lucas the whooping he richly deserved, I was sad to see Wash bite the dust though.

The combination of the key characters working together was great and it was nice to see Skye turn the tables on creepo Lucas. The little scene with Taylor and Zoe was cute.
One thing that surprised me was I didn't think you could just jump through the portal and reach the other side without an exit portal, I half expected Jim to end up somewhere else but I'm glad he didn't as the stage is nicely set for Terra Nova vs Lucas, Mirra and The Phoenix group mercs in season 2, with the mysterious ship to add some intrigue.
