My random thoughts on the Finale and the entire season:
- This show is very good, and has the makings to be great. One of the few shows I often think about after it airs for awhile. The cast and writing do an excellent job to bring alive the world of Mapleton and the family.
- I hate how often the piano is used in emotional scenes. It can be very powerful, but has been overdone (This was a problem on Lost, as well) Let some of the punch of the scenes speak for themselves, rather then cue up the "feeling" music.
-The cello cover of "Nothing else Matters" was amazing.


-Was a surprisingly upbeat ending for a show that is pretty dark. I thought the voiceover was Nora's suicide note. When I saw her with the baby and Kevin and his daughter, you could feel the hope


-Finally, will be interesting to see how HBO handles no more source material of the books...and could be a good test run for Game of Thrones once they run out of books.

Good season with tons of potential. 7/10
