It feels a bit as if the final episode was primarily for effect, to make us watch the next season. And very likely that's exactly what it is, because the script is tellingly "falling into place". That is, the viewer is not surprised to see something unexpected, but actually expects the unexpected as the last season unfolds – the surprise is how it all fits together perhaps too well. If you pay attention, you can't overlook the questionable motivations of the characters for various situations and thus the unlikely outcome according to the original plan of the antagonists. Despite the slight cynicism and the attempt to be as cool and shocking as possible at the end, it's a fine, lively ride with a cast of likeable, or at least strange, characters.

I honestly can’t justify giving this episode anything less than a top rating. The season two finale had everything I love about this series — quality action, plenty of intrigue and manipulation, plans clashing with counter-plans, and trust being buried by double agents. It was intense.
