It wasn't completely clear. Part of me thought the Volm knew their kind of war would royally F up the planet, so they were going to allow humans to live in a Brazilian paradise until the last of our species died.

Another part felt that while the Volm weren't actively trying to kill us, once they won the war they were going to use Earth for their own purposes while we were safely going about our lives in Brazil unable to do anything about it.

I think the Volm conversations portrayed them as being generally benevolent, although controlling. The only thing that hinted at something more was the vague comment Karen threw out there before she got killed.

And I got the impression that humans are more advanced than other species they have deemed needing protection.

I got the impression we are simply more violent than those other species.

Xiroteus

I hope they kept them like that. Actions we may find a bit questionable yet they intentions are not bad. From what I saw it seems they just do not understand why humans act the way they do. I also noticed no one asked what they may want once they win the war.

Are they just going to go on their way or do they want something of Earth, not that would be a crazy request based on as much help as they have given. As long as they do not want to oppress all humans.

Red Dog

That could be too.

Shady12

They consider us more determined and resilient than other species.

Finally got around to watching this finale. This was a poorly plotted season, it felt like several episodes were written without much consideration for the final arc. I probably won't be back next year for another season, three iffy seasons is enough.

They do have a new showrunner next year. David Eick, who produced Battlestar Galactica, is taking over and hiring his own writing staff. So that is promising IMO.

Xiroteus

I also felt like an odd choice to basically have at least two filler episodes ut of a ten episode season where not much gets done. That should be the one good thing about a short season is to have a tight fine tune story line without too much fluff.

Still entertaining enough to continue, of course I am not too hard to entertain.

Geofferson

That's good to know and probably the only reason I'll give it another shot next summer.

I thought this 3rd season was the weakest thus far (and the first two weren't terribly stellar to begin with). The only episode I think I truly enjoyed this season was the flashback/dream episode from a few weeks ago. I probably should have bailed already, but it's summer so I stuck it out.

PhantomStranger

The revolving door of showrunners tells me someone else is really calling the shots on major creative decisions, either the network or Noah Wyle.

anomynous

No, it just means TNT is trying to make it their Walking Dead in more ways than one.

Goldberg74

Season 4 has a 13-episode order next summer. Hopefully they slow it down.

Joe Schmoe

Normally I'd be happy to hear that a show I watch is getting a longer season, but this show barely managed to come up with 10 episodes worth of story in Season 3. There was definitely filler, so I doubt the show will benefit from more episodes next season. It may hurt it even more.

TheBang

Except that there are new showrunners next year. So maybe they know how to properly fill out a season.

mikehunt

and it was hated/sucked then so I'm surprised they're doing it now
