I was spoiled slightly for this, too--or aware of the rumors, at least. But I really don't think it would have been a total surprise, because the episode didn't even try to hide the fact that she was about to face...something that meant saying goodbye to everybody. (I wasn't friended by that person. How sadistically mean!)

The one relationship that progressed was Kara/head!Leoben. (Yay head!Leoben! Canon, natalexx, canon!)

First, I know!! Eee! Also, exactly. And that only makes me want to see *where it goes from here*. Because Kara "accepted her destiny" and...now what? I mean, if her destiny was to *die*, that is INCREDIBLY LAME. That's one of the many reasons I just can't believe that was...the end.

But enough of this death stuff, how hot was the paint sex? Huh? OMG. Mmm.
