Yeah, I think you guys are all right on with the shoulda-been-limbo-all-along argument.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the episode - I was right with it throughout the whole episode... right up until Jack opened the coffin in Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Chapel. At that moment, I knew what was going on - but I was in my head, grieving for that moment I'm not sure I'll ever get with my mom. (Side note - it was the anniversary of her death and I hadn't really processed that fact until that moment.) Pulled me out of the episode completely, so I'm not sure I've got a response to the series ending. It ended. They didn't answer stuff. I liked the emotional satisfaction. I feel kind of manipulated. But they focused on the characters, and since that was my biggest argument against the Jacob/Brother episode, I probably feel somewhat OK.
