By now it's obvious that each community on the planet Fire is a thinly veiled satire on an aspect of modern society. In the superior episode "Girltown," a splendidly theatrical cameo from Ellen Dubin as Queen allows the viewer to question feminism, bureaucracy, and why the heck Giggerota has been reincarnated to taunt poor Stanley H. Tweedle (Brian Downey). Then, in what might as well be a two-part finale, all questions are at last answered. "The Beach" would for any other series be considered the clips show: on an idyllic yet purgatorial stretch of sand, Stan is forced to account for his life by viewing events of the past. Judged by his harshest critic--himself--he then suffers all that Prince (Nigel Bennett) has promised and more as the true meaning of "Heaven and Hell" is revealed. Creator Paul Donovan clearly maintained a strong hand in every aspect of the third season, but in directing his own work with these last two episodes we witness a genuinely rare example of personal vision. The narrative has been consistently surprising, but the twist left for last is literally breathtaking. TV sci-fi has never been so sexy and intelligent at the same time. --Paul Tonks
