The real notable stuff from this episode is in the last five minutes. As we get an update on what happened to all the principal characters and Ventara.

I don't mind another clip show. Since we got a statisfying ended to the plot. The real story was about taking Xaviax down. We didn't need to see them put the teleportation beams on Karsh.

I think they tied everything up nicely. The Venteraians get to return home to rebuild. Adam gets his wish to live a peaceful life and be with Sarah ( it makes sense for him to forgive him since she loves him and he made right by his mistakes). Kit gets to replace him as Dragon Knight permenantly ( I wonder what happens to the Onyx deck?). Trent gets to stay with No Men. The Earth Riders get returned to their normal lives with no memories of their time as Kamen Riders. And most importantly, Kit gets his dad back.

I saved Maya for her own paragraph. I was relieved that the rumors about the whole season being a story she wrote we're not true. Or at least the impression I got wasn't. Maya just took the real live adventure and made it into a book. Obviously everything still happened. It made sense that Maya got around releasing the story but claiming it was fiction. I like how she ended up with the real Strike. I also like how Kit, Len, and Kase are still a part of her life. It was fitting that Maya and Lacy brought Grace's Book back ( funny how Grace just disapeared midway through the series).

I love the ending with Kit, Maya, and Len transforming into Kamen Rider's for their next adventure. The Advent Master's promise of new worlds and new dangers left things open ended enough for a continuation. But at the same time the story itself was satisfactory completed. There are no real lose ends. And this came across like a real Series Finalie. Which is good since the show got cancelled.

I did think that Chris being cured of his medical condition and becoming a marine was a little much. But I guess they had little time to tie up his loose ends. I would have rather have had him have found a new path to happiness. Its sad that he won't be able to be part of Len and Kit's life. But that part of his faith makes sense. I wonder if the Advent Master ensured that the other Earth Rider's would have good lives ( since some of them we're pretty flawed).
