A great episode to end the season, though it did confirm my suspicions that the writing has been heavily padded. If they had tried to build up to this episode any more than it would have likely spoiled some of the big moments and reveals, so instead they had to have several episodes (including one that was egregiously short) where very little happened to tread water until the finale. To distract from that, they tried to make those episodes as visually interesting as possible. I predict that once future seasons have aired, it will become quite obvious that the finale of this season should not have been a finale at all but rather the culmination of a second act coming in somewhere around the episode 7 - 8 mark.

I can't believe I'm reading all these comments about this season being "padded". I've watched through the whole season again this week in advance of the finale and I just couldn't disagree more. We gained CRUCIAL information and back story throughout. Every episode was riveting. I don't get where everyone's coming from.
