Everyone seems to love the final episode. I, like usually, seem to conjure up what I feel would have been better or more realistic versions. I just can't make the leap others seem to make in forgetting all the innocent decent people they killed with no hesitation. Even some of Stan's best associates and people he cared about. How does he simply forget all of that in their final scene together and let them drive away. The only real feelings of contradiction someone in his place would and should have had were to kill them all on the spot or arrest and take them in. And don't give me that "but they were friends" defense. He would have been even more insinst due to their use of him as a cover for their horrendous deeds. I am sorry, I just never seem able to buy into the "hollywood endings" they always come up with. I prefer life to be real. If they did nothing else but participate in the slaying of the agents in Chicago over Thanksgiving, that would have been enough for any fellow FBI agent to blow Phillip away the moment he said, "but we don't kill people, or we never killed anyone"... whatever he actually said during their final conversation. I don't guess any ending that didn't have Elizabeth dead for all the evil she did would not have been satisfying to me. I waited all these years to see how she finally got hers. And for it to end with her back in her beloved motherland is simply to little for me to stomach. A lot of times we don't get real justice in our real lives. They could at least give us some sense of it in the final of such successful TV series.
I have to give the finale a resounding B, for BOO.
