I think the final season managed to convey what it wanted to do well enough that I did not mind too much when it failed to do it well.

My issue with Samaritan is more that the show promised this brand new status quo with the season 3 finale and season 4 premiere, where the heroes would have to be smart about how they worked. Like how John could not just go on a one-man rampage cause it would raise suspicion and he had to hire someone to create a situation his assumed identity would make sense to get involved with. But they pretty much dropped that by the next episode.

The music is generally great. Exit Music (For A Film) is still stuck on my head along with the accompanying monologue.

Also, Ramin Djawadi was the composer for most (if not all) the soundtrack iirc.

>!I wouldn't have minded him living, but I thought it brought his story full circle. He was introduced as someone who had nothing left to live for, no purpose, and was trying to drink himself to death. And Finch who gave him that.!<

>!Plus, he got to subvert his old "in the end we're all alone and no one is coming to save you" outlook by coming to save Finch. And symbolically having the Machine by his side as he died.!<

Truth be told, I found PoI had one of the most satisfying endings I've seen.

The >!Samaritan!< stuff did kinda drag, yeah. But personally I just disliked how we moved away from the rogue's gallery approach of the earlier seasons. And also how they make this super big deal out of it in Season 4 Episode 1 and then pretty much hand wave it away afterwards.

Curious. Why do you hate the ending?
