earned its ending
The series was not without its merits but this episode limped to the finish line and collapsed, and was probably the trajectory it was destined for.
It became more of a sitcom staged in a space related work setting and ignored the more interesting and ripe topic on offer, expanding into space and the interesting and funny situations that could offer. Instead we got way too much of the usual tropes from the daughter dad relationship, dating at work problems, the obligatory gay character, etc etc.
The series shined when it was picking fights with the chinese on the moon, or the great patton Oswald cameo of the mars mission astronaut floating in space by himself.
Many of the characters walked well worn paths carved monotonously many times by other sitcoms in the decades before.
