I loved the Lost finale. It was obvious from the two big flashback episodes earlier in the season, (Ab Aeterno & Across the Sea, I think) which were extremely short on the promised answers, that we were not going to be getting any. Instead, it was about rooting for the characters rather than getting invested in the mysteries of the Island or the Sideline. And the latter device was an excellent mechanism to have our cake and eat it too. The lives and deaths we had watched meant something, but we also got reunions and fulfillment of the characters.

View original postBreaking Bad - Excellent. In some ways overshadowed by the preceding episodes, it was satisfying, but in a way that was earned, and appropriate. The show was always absolute in its morality, and the triumphs of the finale were earned by a degree of repentance.
Spot on times two.

It felt rushed. In fact, the last half of the season had that feel. I could have been better. *NM*

I liked Rome's. Or at least, the ending scene was great, don't remember all of the episode.

The fantastic ending of The Shield gives me hope for Sons of Anarchy.

Breaking Bad ended perfectly. Six Feet Under had the most touching finale ever.
