Well in my opinion the series came to an abrupt end and could easily have lasted another 14 episodes (and wouldn't it have been great to get a christmas special in ape land?). However despite the sadness of knowing there is no more apes the series goes out with a bang as one of the best episodes. It has it all from romance to humour- Action to suspense. The new human (I forget his name) is a real star unlike so many guest actors who have brought the series down. The story isn't complex like so many episode are but its simplicity is its strength. The ending is good enough although many fans would have liked a definative closure but unfortunatly that will never happen now and I quite like the openendedness of it. Overall a great end to one of the best US tv shows of the decademoreless
For this, their last appearance, Mark Lenard and Booth Colman have barely a minute of screen time.

Leuric: What's wrong with (Galen)?
Pete: Ancient human disease. Seasickness. (laughs)Edit
Leuric: I've made it happen! What nobody ever did before!
Galen: You also may be killed the way no one's ever been killed before. Here we go . . . !
Edit
Leuric: It's all my fault.
Galen: Of course it is. Some humans are much more humans then other humans, but you . . . you are the most human.
