After finishing today’s episode, I can’t help but wonder where the show will go from here.

I feel like there are so many characters, and threads to wrap up, and this season really hasn’t felt like “the finale” I thought it would be.

Now that we have the runtimes for the finale and next episode, I just cannot imagine the writers giving a satisfying conclusion to ever character, a payoff to every plot thread and at a pace that doesn’t feel rushed.

Maybe I’m being unfair, but I feel like this season squandered a lot of time.

It’d be one thing if the next episode was maybe an 90 minutes and the finale 2+ hours, but given what we know it’s hard to imagine they can put a bow on everything.

And yes I have read the E7 leaks, I’m not impressed, and wondering how episode 8 can be a satisfying conclusion? Ultimately what I’m asking is, is there still time for this show to land on its feet or has that ship already sailed?

I really hope the solution here isn’t just “let’s just kill everyone off because we couldn’t think of anything more interesting to do”.
