Apologies to readers for missing out on the final batch of Spartacus: War Of The Damned episodes. One week after the series finale, I’ve finally had the chance to catch-up, so without further ado, read on for my thoughts on episodes 3×08-3×10.

The time that we have been dreading has arrived: the final two episodes of Fox’s underrated, undervalued, underappreciated sci-fi gem have finally arrived. So does the finale deliver?

All good things must come to an end, and so Damages bows out with an extended 70 minute series finale that resolves both the McClaren case, and more importantly, establishes once and for all the distinction between Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) and Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne).
After delivering a largely satisfying and successful series run, does the series finale serve as an appropriate end to our beloved show? We break out the ever popular He/She said to deconstruct ‘But You Don’t Do That Anymore.’

After watching the season finale of Revenge Wednesday, I was certain that I had seen the craziest hour of television that the 2011-2012 season had to offer. Fast forward twenty-four hours and begin a slow-clap for Awake, a complicated show that never quite caught on. Last night touched on insane series finale territory as it somehow managed to answer questions but revealed nothing all at the same time. Let the great debate begin!

It’s so hard to say good-bye isn’t it? Being Erica had what appears* to be its final episode last night, and true to how the rest of the season has gone, there were no huge reveals or mind-bending twists, but a focus on accepting endings and starting new beginnings.
Creator Jana Sinyor has stated:
Season 4 is the end. It’s important to Aaron and I to be able to finish the story in a way that is satisfying to our audience. This is going to be a big year for Erica, and by the end of it – she will have finished the journey she started…
Think this happened? Let’s see as we break it down…
*There are some rumblings going on about how this may not be the final season, as many of the episode descriptions define this as the “season” vs. “series” finale. Take a look at some of these articles featuring interviews with creator/executive producer Jana Sinyor and executive producer Aaron Martin and judge for yourself. It sounds to me like this was their last season, but I think CBC might want to leave the door open to season five. CBC’s renewals came out in February this year, so we have a couple of months of nail-biting to see if this will actually happen and Erica’s journey continues. Judging by this season (*cough Ford Focus, Tetley Infusions cough*) and this episode, I’m putting my money on this being last of the series.
