User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 13/@comment-26306977-20150907223129/@comment-10870881-20150910003955

The Feds and News have won, if the Chairman had any other way to "bring them down with him", he would've used it. Authorities will show up soon, he'll be arrested or escape, and the people of Chorus will remain intact. There's some grey area with war crimes, but the important part is that the majority of them are alive. There's Chorus' resolution.

The reason Epsilon split himself is BECAUSE of Dish Best Served. He knew from experience his own limits with running that much equipment, he knew that he couldn't do it, so he chose the option that gave his friends a chance to live.

Epsilon may not have been the star of the season all the way through, but he's had plenty of moments focusing on him, his introduction in Long Time No See establishing his self-confidence, the headaches leading up to Dish Best Served, the delusion he experienced after Armonia exploded. This season explored a lot about humanity, the alliance between Feds and News (prejudice and the ability to overcome it), Locus and Carolina (guilt, self doubt), Felix (pride and fear), and Epsilon (mortality). Even the BGC had problems with their own weakness several times.

And these issues were resolved, the Feds and News got over it and beat up pirates, Locus realized who he was and what he wants, Carolina let go of her baggage and found faith in herself and her friends, Felix got his comeuppance, Epsilon accepted his mortality and sacrificed himself for his friends, and the BGC have decided to fight untill the end. Not to be corny about it, but this wasn't the Feds and News' story, or Epsilon's story, this was everyone's story.
