O_O How can you understand as a writer? That was just sloppy writing. I didn't mind Rachel getting killed off because at least that was well-written and poignant, as well as logical and somehow fitting, but the cliffie?

A CLIFFIE?!

How unprofessional is that? Leaving avenues open and not stating outright what their future is, fine. Receding from the story to let them develop without recording their everyday lives, sure. But just cutting off right when they ram a ship while on a rescue mission? Uh, no. Hell no. That's just ridiculous.

*fumes!*
