I looked around to see a little feedback and I saw a lot of positive, and of course some negative.
I think overall it will have a stronger approval than probably expected for a finale, but there's obviously going to be a ton of haters. That's just life.

A big complaint I see is that it was emotionally satisfying but not intellectually satisfying, or some shit to that effect.
I don't really get it. That's not the point of the final part of a story. It should leave us feeling satisfied on an emotional level with the characters.
If there were more big intellectual issues, it would mean more big questions. Isn't that what they didn't want?

There's been plenty of intellectual reward and content all along. There's so much to talk about there.
Just because the finale isn't getting bogged down in that shit doesn't mean it's not also there.

I don't get it. Those people have driven me crazy for a while anyways. I don't think they're really as into what the show is really about, as much as they are the scientific/theoretical side and the idea of getting answers.
That stuff is all a big part of what makes the show great, but it's not really what storytelling is all about, or at the core of this story.

I'm glad I liked it, and seemingly all of you guys who discuss it with me on here.
