Greg David \/ TV, Eh?<\/em><\/p>\n

If Friday\u2019s first episode of Continuum<\/em> is any indication, this final season is going to blow fans away. The Future Soldiers have Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) in their sights and, intent on restoring order to the timeline, are willing to blow our heroine to smithereens. And they\u2019ve got the tech to do it; Kiera\u2019s suit just doesn\u2019t seem to stand a chance.<\/p>\n

The first of these last six episodes, \u201cLost Hours,\u201d\u2014returning Friday at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Showcase\u2014is packed with the stress, action and armaments of a feature film, which is exactly how Continuum<\/em>\u2018s creator tackled the farewell storyline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe six episodes really freed me up creatively because I didn\u2019t have to service episodic storytelling,\u201d Simon Barry says during a Vancouver set visit. \u201cI said, \u2018Let\u2019s just do a six-hour movie and break it up into six chapters.’\u201d Some fans vented their frustration on social media when Showcase announced the sci-fi project would conclude with Season 4, but Barry says he\u2019d rather have a half-dozen hours to tie up loose ends than have three more seasons and be cancelled suddenly.<\/p>\n

The result? A storyline that sticks to the present timeline of 2015 Vancouver. To be honest, that\u2019s quite enough. Along with the Future Soldiers\u00a0(played by Lisa Berry, Ty Olsson, Aleks Paunovic, Kyra Zagorsky, Michael Eklund and Garfield Wilson), Kiera has to contend with Kellog (Stephen Lobo), who is on a course to become a powerful warlord in a war-torn future; a budding romance with Brad (Ryan Robbins); and a shaky alliance with Liber8 that puts her relationships with Carlos (Victor Webster) and Alec (Erik Knudsen) in jeopardy. Barry explains Kiera evolved in Season 3, realizing Liber8 was smaller fish and that she needed to think bigger if she wanted to have an effect on the future and did so by aligning with the terrorist group to take down Sonmanto. The partnership carries over to Season 4, but it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re sharing a beer anytime soon.<\/p>\n

As for the series finale episode, Barry is\u2014as you\u2019d expect\u2014mum on the details, though he advises \u201cThere will be discussion,\u201d among fans once the credits roll for the last time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a weird way, Episode 6 has been a series of endings masked as a story,\u201d he says. \u201cWe have a last shot and a last scene that I think is very important, but I don\u2019t think the scene carries the weight of the rest of the episode on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuum<\/em>\u00a0airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Showcase.<\/p>\n
