Heh, good one.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Just plot twist after plot twist doesn't add up to a good plot.
That was my rationale for abandoning Lost.

So, the critical response is still negative. With Mo Ryan coming in really and truly pissed. I missed this a few days ago:

Punishingly Intricate
Wow, she expresses my thoughts about the show EXACTLY! I gave up on it a couple of eps in, though, and only saw the last few eps cuz Bob was watching. And yelling at the tv. SO disappointing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow, Mo is mad. Real mad. I'm impressed.

This paragraph
One thing. Just one thing. The one thing the finale needed to do was tell me who killed Rosie Larsen. That's all I think many fans wanted at this point. Most of the other things I'd once liked about the show -- the performances, the atmosphere, etc -- had dissipated in a haze of boring red herrings and sludgy misdirects, so I was hanging on for that one bit of resolution.
is me. But I am not as mad as she is about the finale. I'll probably watch at least the first episode of the next season. In which I am pretty sure that final twist will be revealed to be not quite as earth-shattering as it's made out to be. Yeah, Holden faked evidence but I wouldn't be surprised if that was just because he "knows" Richmond is guilty. That seems totally in character.
What made me the most frutrated about the finale was that they had that car impounded for almost two weeks and no one looked checked the mileage and fuel tank against the log? That's just sloppy.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, the bit about the car - it all ties into the mystery of why they have only two cops on a really high profile case.
I love how mad Mo is.

True. Part of me just assumed that that was just all we were seeing not all that was happening, that other cops were canvassing and whatnot offscreen.
I also love how mad she is. It's a beautiful thing.

I had a dream about Justified. Ava was dead, Raylan got in trouble at work and was no longer a Marshal, had a gang, and the subtext between him and Boyd was TEXT as they made out all over the place inbetween commercial breaks.
