This two-part finale is everything great and awful about this series wrapped up together. The good: tense action, great momentum from juggling multiple plotlines, sweeping epic direction, high-budget special effects, character conflict. The bad: Corny writing (the christmas scenes were TERRIBLE and so unnecessary; they weaken Madison as a character, more than anything), rushed chracter deaths (I always get the feeling the actors wanted out of the series so the writers passive aggresively give them unceremious deaths that make you wonder "wait...is he really dead?"), weak villains (there's no reason why Proctor John couldn't explain his reasoning for being a dick; he just seems evil for evil's sake which is boring). At the end, I felt a mix of love and resentment for the season for all it's great and weak moments. That I feel positvely at all is an achievement unto itself, considering I hated the 2nd half of season 2 so much that I didn't plan on even giving season 3 a chance (thankfully it opened strong and made me fall back in love with it).
