Must we get a resolution for damn near every problem that was brought up?
Maybe we do, but the final episode ofJericholeft me screaming at my television, Are youkiddingme?
Well begin with the love story that was, is, and always will be Stanley and Mimi.
It was obvious that they would become one hell of a couple, strengthened by Mimis taking a bullet.
He freaked out a bit, as any sane person would, then accepted what hed done.
You cant blame him for leaving the hideout to get to bury Bonnie.
But I was a little creeped out by Stanley and Mimis makeshift nuptials next to Bonnies newly dug grave.
Ultimately, it was sweet, and I cried a little, but really near a grave?
Jake told him that Jericho needed him and he should head home.
So without much ado, Gray returned to Jericho, to see Main Street a complete and total wreck.
We cant write off Gray that easily.
Now lets talk about Beck, who, after much flip-flopping, finally realized the error of his ways.
Granted, this was only after he searched through Hawkins possessions to see if he was telling the truth.
Good for him for getting smart and standing up to his commanders.
He apologized to Heather for not believing her.
(I loved when she told him he was a coward.)
He went up to the Richmond farm to let the insurgents know they were free to go.
NEXT: This means war!
Sure, it sounds like a lot, but to me it seemed choppy and rote.
Let me explain what I mean.
Who would have guessed that there would be a shootout when they hijacked the ambulance?
I mean, shocking, right?
Who would have guessed the Texas-embassy folks would grant them amnesty and save them from Cheyenne?
And what do you know, they got to the airport and took off with no problems whatsoever!
(Uh, not really.)
(My folks live in Texas.
Must be a pride thing.)
And I jumped a little when Hawkins got shot, but that was about it.
I guess Chung died, but who really knows?
Smith just vanished into the darkness…ooh, creepy.
And Hawkins and Jake basically started the next American Civil War.
Okay, I guess.
Thats all we have.
There were resolutions, neatly packaged for us.
There are some open questions, which are good for any series finale to have.
What is Smith going to do now?
How would the battle play out?
What would Constantino do now that its all-out war?
What role would Beck play?
Ultimately, I dont know how to react toJerichos final episode.
For me, it was neither.
It was simply meh, and Im glad the misery is over.
Does this mean I hated the series?
Absolutely not, but as Ive said before, something was off this whole season.
But what did you think?
Did the finale satisfy you?
