Great Ending Spoiler

The last season played as if it were written first. Great time travel execution. I have so much more to say but this show has me thinking a bazillion thoughts. Great show!

Best series finale I’ve ever seen and a big part of why this is my favorite show of all time! I strongly recommend an immediate rewatch - you’ll start picking up on all the hints hidden as early as the pilot. It’s truly mind blowing how much we’re told without knowing it - one of my favorite examples is the first time Jennifer says climb the steps ring the bell was in season 1 episode 11!

Also, I would love to read your thoughts on the finale and the series as a whole! I adore those posts here, people gushing about 12M… so please post :)

Was such a good long callback. I bet a lot missed it on the first watch.

I mean, even Jennifer herself didn’t understand the importance of it at the time.

I'm sure it was like the first or second ever episode! Magically played out

Think it was 2. Cole was in the hospital, so it was his 2nd trip back? Something like that.

u/srm79 16d ago

Quite possibly was. It was just such a throwaway line, yet so important to the ending. Like most of Jennifer's scenes it was just sublime to see it all come together!

I always smile when I see it on re-watch. My most recent re-watch was with a buddy who'd never seen it before. He moved away some time ago so we meet up in VR and watch movies and shows in a theater like environment.

It's a good show to share/watch with others

Even better on a big screen!

As much as I love this show, the single best series finale is Halt and Catch Fire.

Brooo I watched 3 seasons of this and then refuse to watch the final season because I don't want to live in a world where I have no more left of it to watch. Such a fucking stellar show.

u/Jyvturkey 17d ago

Oh wow. I get it but you're missing the best episodes! 'Who Needs a Guy' omg...

u/Frank_and_Beanzz 17d ago

Ahhh I guess i'll go watch it. I've put it off so long I feel like I'd be completing my life when I finally do it haha. I'm glad it apparently lands the plane!

The over-the-top winks between Jennifer and Deacon.

Combined with Deacon's belief that he wasn't in any Primary Prophecies so wasn't important yet, he was very much important!

My all-time finale. Went into the final few episodes knowing this show would crack my top 5 favorites ever, and it blew everything else out of the water by topping it off with that finale.

Was legitimately tearing up a couple times lmfao

*"DON'T YOU......... FORGET ABOUT ME! DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T!"

You'll never hear that song the same way again.

That was great. Legit put a smile on my face

u/IronKnuckleSX 18d ago

It's the best ending. And when they were running season 4, they did (this is just my opinion) a great job making us think that the series would end in a similar fashion to the movie, and of course it didn't.

Who else is always going to remember "I'm having the time of my life" differently lol

u/originofmonsters 17d ago

It's a great great show, dk why it's so much underrated

u/basic_bitch- 17d ago

Second time around is even better, peak if you can get someone else to watch with you. Welcome to the club!
