Trivia
The title refers to the phrase "Through a Glass Darkly" from 1 Corinthians 13.

Goofs
Becca says the solar flares caused an EMP which shut down the Eureka Maru. The EMP must have been unusually picky because the electric motorized pilot chair still worked, the lights still worked. Random background electrical devices still worked, and her MP3 player still worked.

Quotes
Beka Valentine: I always thought when I went, I would go out with a bang, not quiet like this. This is what it must be like in the sweet hereafter. Or else a party.
Trance Gemini: So you're saying there's life and then there's death, which is true, because first you're this, and then you're that, but really, it's all one thing. A sun gives life and light, and then it collapses and it takes light into itself.
Beka Valentine: First a star, then a black hole.
Trance Gemini: Different forms of the same thing.
Beka Valentine: So no party?
Trance Gemini: This is the party.
Beka Valentine: Whoop de doo.

The return of an old friend

As this episode opens the Andromeda crew are trying to help refugees on Seefra Five; it isn't easy though as their oppressor has a formidable air defence system. Then Höhne, the Perseid scientist who was assumed dead after an accident on board three yours previously materialises on Andromeda's bridge. For him no time has passed since the accident. He offers to help adapt the tesseract machine to transport goods down to the refugees. While doing this he establishes that there is still a link to three hundred years ago, before the fall of the Commonwealth. Dylan plans to use the devise to both save his crew and the Commonwealth but there is an unexpected problem that threatens the entire Seefra system.

This was an enjoyable episode; the story provided plenty of tension and a nice twist towards the end. There are also some nice emotional moments. The highlight however was the return of Höhne, an amusing and likeable character. Alex Diakun does a fine job in the role. The troubles on Seefra Five did seem to come out of nowhere; here we have signs of heavy fighting but I don't recall any mention of trouble before; even in the previous episode where Dylan and Doyle went to Seefra Five... this isn't much of a problem though. Overall another decent episode as the final season reaches its midpoint.
