I appreciate the sentiment they were trying to convey at the end but...

I think this is one of those cases where NOT showing it would have been all the more poignant. Have Reddington face off with the bull and cut to black. And end it there. Maybe - VERY MAYBE - add a small eulogy at the end with the team talking about him or switch it with Zuma's excellent scene in the bed. Don't show us his "mangled" and contorted body and have Ressler call Cooper to mention "he got him". That's just wrong. Disrespectful to the characters and the 10 years.

Still not the worst ending of a series though.

@mansemat I'm with you. It an ugly image to have as the last time we see Red.

And yet, in a way, I respect they didn't sugarcoat his mangling and went with realism. Isn't that strange?

@mansemat I said basically the same thing, although I think Dembe basically gave the eulogy, which was beautiful.
