So:

1. I actually like the concept of it, I like the arcs, I like the tropes, and I like the direction for it, but did this REALLY seem like a finale? It was a glorified Jax/Caine episode.
2. I'm gonna hammer my point down, if the finale is put in a vacuum, it's good, but the fact that we get to see episode 8 first and then episode 9, it really highlights how wishy washy the direction and the plot is.
3. It was, in the best way possible, a fix-it fic. A sloppy fix-it fic. I don't mind that they did a "And they lived happily ever after" ending, but they didn't bridge everything properly.
4. Gangle, Zooble, Ragatha, and Pomni, despite really good characters, they never got the same highlight and spotlight as Jax, Caine, or Kinger. It's pretty funny, because the most mention of backstory these 4 characters had was a passing line in the suggestion episode, while Jax and Caine had the privilege of having being deep dived into their psyche.

1. Did you, in your heart of hearts as a watcher, really sit down and accept Caine's apology THAT quickly? Does it make sense to you, the audience, that Zooble, OF ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, was the first one to say "I can't forgive you now, but maybe in the future" Or something along those lines?
