Well I remain very disappointed. It was a good episode but as a final episode to a series it was not remarkable or outstanding, there were no shockers or surprises and it was a manipulative tearjerker. 

I cried more during other episodes. They missed the mark with this one. It will not go down in history though I suspect it will get good reviews.

I agree. I wish last week was the last one.

Agreed, although had it aired tonight I don’t think I’d have ever stopped crying.

I did tear up when William was talking about being a grandfather, and the tears spilled when Randall said they were going to Memphis.

The flashback scenes were filmed three years ago - those kids are much older now. Kudos to the writers.

I will miss the Pearson family, I felt like I made their Life Journey with them & there were so many times I could relate to what they were going through.  As I mentioned, I am a Grandma, and I hope my Grandchildren have memories of me to keep through the years.  Hearing William speak about loving his Grandchildren made me cry. 

I have so many memories of my grandparents- they were part of my village. I loved them so much. I have no doubt that your grands will have lots of memories of you.

I didn't hate it but it could have been so much more. It was a good episode but not a great series finale. They should have ended with the train. That said, I liked one last worst case scenario, the flashback to the ordinary day and the Big Three at the end. 

What was the point of Tess, Annie, Hailey and Kevin’s twins? 

I will miss this show though for all it's faults. All of then deserve Emmys.

That was my favorite part of the episode. I am extremely close with my grandparents, particularly on my mother's side. I'm the oldest grandchild (31), and their youngest grandchild is 5. I think often about how extremely fortunate I am to have had them in my life for so long, yet I feel such profound sadness when I know there's absolutely no way that can happen for the youngest (they would be 110). When William talked about how the grandchild/grandparent relationship starts with such an unfair time inequity, I felt that in my heart. That scene was the best writing this show has had. As a surprise to no one, that was written and filmed during the first season. I was full on sobbing, and I'm crying again as I think about it.

Speaking of William, why did his face look so much fuller on the train last week? Seeing him again in this episode he looked so different.

Of course the William scenes were filmed a few years ago. The train scenes a month or so ago. RC Jones has had a double lung transplant since he left the show after the earlier seasons, so he probably is much healthier now. Thus the fuller face.
