Ok, ok, this is just my opinion. I am glad for fans who felt they gained some closure from the finale. You deserve that. I also think the finale was emotional manipulation, something we saw very clearly in 2016 as well. I don’t like fans being played with.
A was a total peach to return but, damn, that guy has played fans over and over (and multiple ships too) and I think that is the ultimate insult to people who are invested in a story for YEARS. I feel the same way I always have about that: it’s unconscionable to use fans that way
Basically, he’s not getting a pat on the back from me, that’s for sure.
And I’ve been saying the same thing for 4 years, I’m even in a documentary saying pretty much exactly this.
