This was an alright finale. It was a little more underwhelming than I was expecting it to be. The dialogue was pretty weak, which, I guess you could say, was always the case throughout the season, but it was really the case this time. But Todd was the reason it was an alright finale and not worse. Jon Bass' performance in this episode was his best as good ol' Todd Aberdeen.
Ezekiel and Prudence are officially together now, which I expected, but I couldn't care less. Benny and Trig reconciled, which I expected, but I couldn't care less about that, even more so than with Ezekiel and Prudence getting together. Todd's death was weird. Maybe it's because he was one of my top three favorite characters, but I think his death was unnecessary, even more so when you take into account that Trig was spared and "redeemed." Yet Todd wasn't and was also killed. I don't get it.
All-in-all, I think this was a weak finale and one of the weakest episodes in the season, although I'll admit that the final goodbye between Benny and Ezekiel was bittersweet. It's unfortunate, especially since I was expecting it to be better than it was. It wasn't that funny or enjoyable. I imagine that will be an unpopular opinion, given that my opinions regarding each episode seem to be just that. And I feel like some people will really like this episode, as a finale; and as an episode. The main reason for that will probably be the whole sequence of Ezekiel dancing for Todd, just like the fourth episode with Ezekiel's dancing routine. But just like that instance didn't elevate that episode for me, the equivalent of that instance in this episode didn't elevate this episode for me.
In hindsight, the peak of this season was definitely at the beginning. That was, of course, not apparent while watching each episode, week-by-week; only after watching the entire season did that become obvious. I think the season started to become a little weak once it reached the halfway point. I don't think it necessarily started going downhill: there were some highs. But there were more lows. Regardless, this season was still something to watch these past weeks, and it was entertaining sometimes: even though it started getting weak at times, I don't think it was that bad.
