I watched it ~2010 because I kept hearing how it was such a good meditation on faith or whatever...and by the end I was like, is faith in the room with us?? Or are we just hearing some drums haha. But it was good to see another comforting made in British Columbia sci-fi show.

A spaceman in a spacesuit faces a landscape of loose red dirt and rocks. Next to him are the words: "The ultrasuit, its working splayed open for Winston to climb inside, stands violet and gunmetal under the warehouse lights.

Winston takes and holds a deep breath and slides his arm into the machine's while Eliza helps him in: 'There,' she murmurs; 'there.'"
