I'll put most of it behind jump, but...wow.  Solid job, all around, folks.  

Look, I didn't like a lot of where the show went this season.  It felt contrived, it felt tired, it felt seen before.  But this finale reminded me of everything I loved about this show in the first place.  

Maybe you guys fell off the bar in the end, but damn, you stuck the landing.  Good job, and thanks for all the memories.
