I have to say, the ending was beautiful. The parallels between Air and Gauntlet were awesome. Seeing Destiny power down at the end, versus the first scene in Air where we see it powering up was really cool. We also saw a dinner scene in both, one with Rush on the outside, and the one in Gauntlet with Rush being with the group. I'm pretty sure that the writer's expected the show to be cancelled, since they left the series open to continue, but gave us a satisfying conclusion. You are allowed to wonder what happens to Eli, but you know that Destiny's crew will move on eventually, even if they drift for thousands of years. The last scene was cool as well, with Eli watching the ship fly through FTL for possibly the last time.
