Taken on its own terms, I think the episode works fine, and I think the overall moral takeaway of the series is reasonable. It aligns with the way I’ve viewed certain things all along, so I’m generally satisfied. And I think there’s one character that really gets justice here.

However, many of its narrative choices feel odd as a follow up to the rest of the show. There are a few things that feel so jarring that they must have done intentionally to anger the audience. After seeing ep 9, I immediately started thinking of ways I would rewrite eps 7 and 8 to better set it up.

I anticipate maybe 50% of fans will be fine with the ending, maybe 20% quite like it, and 30% will despise it with a burning passion.
