I thought the abrupt end was an attempt to recreate the end to Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog. I have a vague memory that ended abruptly mid-note.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It did, but very intentionally, as it went from the song to a mournful last word. This felt like it was just cut off by accident, with no deliberate punch at the end.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Paul in Ballard is definitely the haunting part of haughtingly.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Surely I interrupt something here
I need a hug. And a rewatch. And the only bad thing I can say about this ep is that besides non-American-Idol-of-few-years-back-reality-shows, there were never 2 characters I was least interested in than Echo and Ballard. And I didn't understand what happened at the very end, but I'll keep that to the rewatch. Quite a good finale.
And reference I'm sure Seska would understand - if someone had a drinking game to the implication of Simmel's prostitute-interaction, he/she were to be end up in a hospital with alcohol poisoning. And that was a shout-out for the "sociology at Berkeley".
God, so much interpretation needs to be done to give that show what it deserves. Though I felt like I didn't get some of the things I'm looking for in a TV show from it, it elevates by this aspect alone.
Uh, and that hug? Wouldn't mind it to be Enver's. Well, at least the bed is well equipped with a huggable dog, starving for attention.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sweetly haunting is a good assessment.
Alpha finding his inner peace would have been a BIG thread I'd like to know more about
Someone needs to write the novel, I, Alpha.

Or possibly, a novel that suggests better use to the title "Mein Kampf".
