I hated that finale.
The ending was a cop-out. it was a rehash “cheater” highlight-reel. Maybe they needed to use the budget that week to fly in all of the guest appearance characters.
The cast should be out of prison now. Let them walk like Rip Van Winkle in society today and see how screwy things have gotten. That would be a good 2-hour made for tv movie, except there are too many sacred cows.
