I thought this season was the weakest we've had. It's still some of the best TV made, but not on par with the others. Overall, it felt dis-jointed and didn't draw me in until episode 5. Oh, it's the enemy, no, let's partner, over and over.

Regarding the finale, it had to be Michael. I don't think the betting partner could have helped, even though that was obviously where they were going. It was too well planned for a last minute save, especially with the timing of the sniper's murder and others ready to go. If he made a call and they did all that, that is some lazy ass writing.

I think Michael's Plan B and unrelated to the guy fixing the matches makes a lot of sense though. Guess we will see where this goes.

Overall, the season felt like a filler to avoid ending the show, similar to the end of the Soprano's.

" -I get that MIchael is struggling with his internal demons. But drop the will he/wont he thing with taking his own life. We get the point that this is eating him up. No need to keep going back to this well."

Do you mean Tommy, or am I forgetting something?

Yep...meant Tommy. My bad

Loved it although sad that Gold died. Great show.

Was Pol involved in the final deception?

Anya Taylor Joy's eyes are so big she looks like an anime character.

I have to separate the two PB threads. It's wigging me out.

Was way late to start watching this show but absolutely love it. Season 5 wasn't my favorite but still good. Final episode - I thought it was Gina behind the stage as well. Also, predictably Finn blabbed and the guy went straight for the phone.

I'm sure Gina has played this whole thing out on her ceiling...
