[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm kind of pleased that the season went out on a somewhat downer note and one that didn't hinge on a shocker twist. The fight between Jack and Rebecca felt very real to me, so much so that while I was sad to see it, it hit home for rougher patches we had ourselves. So it wasn't a teak-jerker for me but a "Wow, even Jack and Rebecca get to this point" reaction. I also think that the last brief scenes with each of their three kids as adults approaching their own crossroads is fed by what happened in the past.[/quote]

I agree.  Maybe I'm in the minority, but I thought this episode was really well constructed.  Showing the three adult kids and what they planned to do in their futures, and the way in which Jack first meets Rebecca.  That last one in particular blew me away.  I loved the way he was right on the brink of doing something that could have ruined him forever, and then he sees her singing.  She was his "big break," as he put it.

This show has some things that bug me, but it always redeems itself in the last ten or so minutes, when they cleverly pull things together.  [/quote]
