Final Episode Question (spoilers)

So in the last episode, the Judge tells Clark that there must be consequences for her actions against Cadogan during the test. But what is the point of consequences if every other human being in the universe has transcended? Who is she being made an example to so they do not follow in her footsteps? No corporeal creature will ever know what she did, so the punishment is irrelevant. Sort of like the tree falling in the woods, does it make a sound if no one is there to hear it?

Agreed. Also the true test for transcendence would have been humanity doing things the right way or better way on Sanctum, as Monty believed. Rebuilding civilization peacefully. Everyone just transcended, a few came back but are sterile, and Clarke is the last fertile human in existence. The end of the human race. They all should of just stayed on the ark and suffocated.

It makes no sense to judge a whole species by one individual, it makes no sense to change your mind and think said species is ready for transcendence just because they avoided one conflict. Nothing about the motivations and actions of these Gods make any sense to begin with. That's never been the strong part of the show anyways.

Maybe that made it more realistic, as I cannot explain the motivations and actions of any of our Earthly gods.
