This is everything I have been trying to say, put together in a coherent manner.
I think what bothered me the most about the whole thing was that, for a show that has never taken itself seriously, suddenly they tried delving into a story line that was serious. Like, they thought it would be a good idea, but had no idea how to actually execute it in a deliberate and well thought out manner.
The whole Pete's mom being a Regent thing bugs the crap out of me. I mean, sure, it's cool, the Regents suck but Pete's mom is one so we can't really think they do. But doesn't that say a lot about Pete as a character. He needs other people to make him interesting (Kelly, his ex-wife we never heard about, Myka to an extent, and now Regent Janeway).
Don't even get me started on killing HG. Ugh. Tears forever.
