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.

This is what they were fighting for all this time, and it was important to me to see them beginning to make steps toward living normal lives. I also thought that it felt real and true that Sarah was struggling; that all her problems weren't resolved by the violent expedient of smashing P.T. Westmorland's head in. I could have done without Donnie's underwear, but I guess we had to expect it. I loved seeing Delphine and Cosima happy and easy together, and also doing meaningful work together curing all the Ledas (of course I wanted more of them, but that was always going to be the case). I was never wildly invested in Helena's pregnancy, so that as the big climax of the series fell a bit short for me, but it was nice to see her contentedly settling into motherhood while remaining her quirky self. I thought Rachel's resolution was perfect. And I really liked the last scene, ambiguous but optimistic, of Sarah and family making S's house their own with the new colorful artwork, and setting out for something as banal but beautiful as a family day at the beach.

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