Yes we did.

No. The show is structured very differently to Lost. The ending doesn't hinge on some grand reveal that explains everything that came before it.

He tried to teleport away but didn't make it in time.

@avclub-92a4841c9f86965effbc29fa6eae9f77:disqus I have a feeling there's a lot of small stuff to pick apart in this finale beneath the surface. Small details like that, Michael's "shh" thing, and a few other odd details not only from this episode but from the rest of the season that were possibly referenced in the…

The street name in the return address for Walter was written in the Observer language. Everything else was regular English.

"When one of the Loyalists implies that Walter might be The Dove, he quips that he’s “more of a raven.”"

Amidst all this gushing and complaining and theorizing, I just want to pop in a small thank you to Noel. I only started watching the show live at the end of Season 3 (6:02 AM EST to be exact), but when I was catching up, I read each and every one of your reviews and always found them well-written and insightful, and…

I think he means that the paradox of September having a hand in Peter's existence/timeline placement by either A) Distracting Walternate and/or B) saving Peter from Reiden Lake was rendered irrelevant because in the new timeline Peter exists/is alive not because of September, but because of The Power of Love.

As far as TV-inspired tattoos go, you could do a hell of a lot worse.

So did anyone else notice that the address on the letter in the last scene was written in the Observer language? What does that mean?

The final scene in the extended director's cut:

It makes enough sense.

"I believe you call it…"

I agree that they shouldn't have done the double fakeout. The whole time I was thinking "it makes so much more sense for Donald to go", and then THEY were like "Hey, it makes more sense for Donald to go" but then nope. It was a little scattered.

Remember Astrid's line in (I believe) Novation? "What's an Observer?"

Now that the series is over, we can finally, officially, without risk of sudden and unexplained crapification, call Walter Bishop one of the very best characters and performances in the history of television.

Here's why I feel good.

You, if they attempted more old age makeup, which never looks god on a TV budget: "Jeez, did you see Lincoln and Olivia? They looked like leather bags! If you can't do it right, don't do it all, amirite??"

I like how the ending to Season 5 is basically the ending to Season 4, continued.
