I liked this finale a lot, and from reading the interviews Michelle Ashford has done after the finale with Sepinwall and Todd - go read them, they're great http://www.vox.com/2014/9/2… http://www.hitfix.com/whats… - it has become clear that the biggest problem with this season was really the lack of material - from

Yeah I found it quite interesting that the one person she actually gets to play the role of the mother with is Bill, rather than her children.

This was a great episode. The relationship between Bill and Virginia will always be the best part of the show and I'm not sure that was any different in this episode, which was brought home by that ending, but I found that final Libby scene went a hell of a long way in redeeming that arc this year.

It's becoming clear that he lives in a constant state of self-loathing and this episode if anything, shows that he finds it

Completely agree, and that quote pretty much sums up the episode perfectly. As someone else said, I love that the show doesn't necessarily declare one side right or wrong, the show doesn't judge its characters so why make a statement in such absolutist terms as to call Bill a "fucking asshole". And omg, if Michael
