Anyone watching this... the season finale tonight, going to be so fucking good. Such a great show, sad that it is over, but from what I can tell so far about the final episode they really do seem to have done it right. That may change tonight after I have actually seen it, but damn the 'preview' for the final episode gets me every time. The music they chose for it is perfect.

3 episodes behind will be caught up by this weekend, sad to see it end but its time.

That so did not end the way I thought it was going to. Sad to see the show end, was one of the best shows ever.

Last episode spoiler. Don't read unless you've seen it. Not that it looks like many people check this thread lol.

Spoiler: show

Every episode I watched this season I thought to myself "Tommy is going to die". It just seemed the logical way to end it. All the Tommy she-man woman bashing on him, the letters, the urge for retirement. Did not see lou going, I gotta say. Hit me harder. Loved this show since the first season. Sad to see it go but it was time. All in all I was very satisfied.

Yep, hit me harder too. The beginning, before you knew what was up, could have stayed that way with all 5 of them dying and it would have made sense. That they pulled 'the dream' on us really didn't bother me. The opening scene and Lou's speech was glorious... and fitting.

Then when it switched up on us, I loved that too. It was almost burned in that much harder BECAUSE of Lou's speech. Then when you realize that he was gone, it just really sucked.

On a lighter note, White Shawn dusting Lou off his ass crack was glorious. "HEY GUYS! TELL HIM I AM NOT TAKING A SHIT! Officer, I am not pooping. Not pooping!"

If you watched it as it aired, the little clip reels for each character were great. Mike man, he was so young looking when he started as the probie.

Damn, great last couple of episodes.

Spoiler: show

opening of the finale had me going, I can normally tell when their pulling that but this one was well done and fooled me, the minute Tommy woke up I knew it was my boy Lou that bit it only thing that was meh was the whole birth deal, 2nd to last episode was just top notch too.

I really enjoyed the entire show as well, caught the finale last night. I kind of thought Lou might be dying since they had been foreshadowing his health issues, and how they ended the second-to-last episode. The start of this one had me going, probably because of the scenes outside the building and Lou in the morgue. If the show hadn't been doing this for years with Tommy's visions, I would have considered it a cheap trick, but it fit right in with the rest of the show.

The birth scene felt rushed, like they wanted it in the show, but didn't have time to do what they wanted to do with it; that was my only complaint about the episode, but it wasn't a major one. I was surprised that Jimmy and the rest of Tommy's ghosts (his dad, his son, his brother) didn't make a brief appearance somewhere. I'm also surprised (but kind of relieved) the crew of 62 truck didn't decide to reunite with Franco as the new Lt. I really liked the final scene, which was an extremely similar scene to the very first scene of the series. It was definitely a solid ending to a great show, which will be missed.
