it is not the end as certain somewhat prominent but superfluous cast members it has already been noted in the press will not figure prominently in future episodes.

i wasnt particularly emotionally invested in the finale but it was only right before i began watching that i remembered i had erased the previous episode prior to watching it all the way through which had i seen it may have connected me more to the characters plight. probably not though. some of the scenes were good but much of the dialogue was overwrought. overall im more interested to see where its headed than where its been.
