You summed it up perfectly

And I agree that it completely made sense that Sarah was struggling. I alwasy wondered what it would be like for her when she finally stopped running.

I'm curious too. I'm just glad that their finale wasn't Sarah waking up on the train with the whole thing being a dream. That would've absolutely sucked.

It wasn't an intentional one!

Agreed. I loved that we got to see them enjoying and figuring out what their freedom meant to them. And I love that it wasn't all the same thing. Cosima was off doing science, Helena's was motherhood, oddly Alison's seemed to be more about finding herself than motherhood and Sarah's meant finally finding some peace, albeit after a struggle.

I'm going to miss this show.
Well said.

There's a really interesting article up at Vulture:

That describes the evolution of the final episode.

I can say I liked the Finale, it wans't as chaotic like all the show was It was a very slow season but I guess we couldn't ask for more. I'm glad they all were happy

Cosima meeting a high!Alison is still one of the funniest things ever.

Personally, I love portabellas, porchinis, and shiitiakes (oops, I almost spelled that without the double "i" lol, so go figure...) but yeah, that single flubbed line just makes me realize that Tatiana playing any character involves a woman who is operating on such a higher plane of intelligence than I know how to deal with that:
