Loose ends

The first season's finale, "The Angel of Death", introduces a synth from the planet Qar'To (which is in the same system as Mor-Tax) named Q'Tara who arrives on Earth and begins killing aliens right and left in effort of finding the Advocacy, without whom the aliens would be lost and helpless. The Blackwood Team is happy to have such a powerful ally (who can shoot "atomic bullets" and can easily detect aliens) on their side who seems to be fighting the same enemy. In fact, after the aliens launch a surprise attack on them all, Q'Tara even goes the extra mile to heal the fatally wounded team members. Although she has been doing good so far, she needs to bring in reinforcements. Just as she's prepared to leave, she makes a last report in a strange native language (subtitled), which states that her mission is incomplete and that humanity as a future food source is still in danger.

This set-up in this cliffhanger combined with the existence of the rogue alien Quinn vying for his own global dominance and millions of more aliens with their leaders making the exodus to Earth in such a short strand of years made the future of the show promise nothing but interest with so many friends and foes battling for the planet. Sadly, all this potential died in the aptly titled Season 1 finale, as they were never picked up and carried into the second season.

Another element that was being built was the issue of why no one remembers the invasion of '53 (something that is the centre of the show's criticism). Many hints of the true explanation were dropped in many episodes, but this was something that Season 2 never even acknowledged, much less answered. Some believe as the synth constantly said "Remember nothing" and appeared to be able to change people's memories that they were involved in wiping humanity's collective memory.

Another issue for season two is the part of the Eternal. There is some debate about whether it was a genuine god, or if it was going to be revelaed to be a false idol controlled by a villain (perhaps Malzor). Its almost near absence in the final episode furthers questions since the Eternal does not appear during or after the revelation of Malzor's deception, leaving no clue on whether the Morthren still revere their god since it would be perceived to either be in on Malzor's plot or totally oblivious and therefore powerless. Another issue is that it was originally going to be called the Immortal, as a tie to the phrase "To Life Immortal", before it was inexplicably changed.
