Great Episode! Now where's the finale?
...
Seriously, I acknowledge this was a good episode, it let the writer's stretch outside the bounds of canon and give a series of "What If" moments for each of the characters. But for it fulfilling the expectations of a season finale... not so much. This episode would have been perfect if it occurred between The Kindred and the finale, but as a standalone it gave us 5 minutes of plot with a not-so-big cliffhanger.
We know they're going to survive, we know who's coming back and who's not for Season 5. We even know which plots will be similar and which won't even happen at all.
