Well, I'm not angry, so that's something!
It was definitely cheerful to have the series end on a high and happy note... the reunion was touching, and I think it's brilliant that all their memories came back, and those who were destined to be together were. However, I do not feel like the loop is complete. In fact, it felt very much incomplete.
They just didn't explain ANYTHING. N-O-T-H-I-N-G was explained. I understand the writers said it was all about the writing (in the pre-show from 7 to 9), but it was the same for Battlestar Galactica, and they still delivered a character driven finale that was both epic AND fulfilling. They actually provided answers.
I'm sad we didn't get to see Walt and his dad... but we got the dog. Seems like a serious oversight.
In the end I'm going to say it was an OK finale, but not fulfilling at all. It's sad they could not harness the will (or the talent?) to provide answers... I mean, what's with all the Egyptian references if you're not going to use them? Seems like lazy writing to me.
The show will be missed, but I'm disappointed in the writers. They gave the final impression they had bitten off more than they could chew.
