What a steaming pile of shite..... and I dont even care that we don't know who killed Rosie Larsen. If the show wouldn't have been horrible down the stretch I could have dealt with a cliffhanger. The main problem is that I don't care who killed Rosie Larsen anymore. That was just nonsensical rubbish pulled out of the creators asses. Joke.

Two shitty cops working the biggest case in the city...

The real question is, who paid off those 29 critics that wrote all positive reviews and zero bad reviews for this show? Like I said before, not one likeable character in the entire show.

That's an understatement!

How do you wait two weeks before you inspect the car the body was found in? They didn't even follow the money Rosie was getting! They assume she was getting it from "modeling" on the website even though they had no actual proof she was even part of it. Just because her aunt was a call girl does not mean Rosie was. It seems obvious to me Rosie was blackmailing some one so she can escape her life but they don't even consider that.

Seems like they can tie everything up in one more episode.

It seems to me like most people are upset because the show wasn't what they expected.

To me, it was never about Rosie Larsen. She's a cog in the wheel of something bigger... of course it's built up to make you believe this is a show about a murder mystery and solving a case... but in fact, it's not. It's about something larger.... we just don't know exactly what that is yet.

Did not like it at all, basically we could've watched the first episode and the finally, whenever that is.

Which is not a compelling reason to watch a show. Furthermore, you are investing the story with meaning that the show has not earned. The whole story has been red herring after red herring none of which have even been all that compelling. That wouldn't even be all that bad if the characters themselves were interesting and drove the story, but they are all humorless dolts. A murder mystery about a murdered girl could have been a pretty good show. This, whatever the hell it is, is not.

I wish I could throw stones here, but I can't. I've been more than vocal about how much I despised the endings of BSG and LOST.

I really like where The Killing is going with the story, I'm looking forward to next season

Really, I don't get it. The endings of BSG and Lost, even if you were disappointed by them, at least made some sense for the main characters on those respective shows. The Killing did not even manage to do that right.

I didn't watch Lost or BSG, but this is an absurb statement. Just because glaucon wasn't happy with the ending does not mean it didn't make sense. And I assume he means the series endings for those shows, not the end of one season. At the end of the Killing they have a viable suspect, they make an arrest. Then the lead Dt gets some info that cast doubt on the arrest (a point the Councilman's lawyer would easily uncover). A friend of the family with a shady past and an aparent obsession with the victim goes Jack Ruby on the accused during the prep walk. The Dt that got the crucial piece of evidence is seen getting into a car and comments that the pic worked. All of that is open ended (aka a cliff hanger) but it all makes sense. We may not like it, because we wanted a resolution, but it makes sense.

I was looking forward to this episode and it was quite a let down. I, like others, do not give a shite who killed Rosie at this point. I would however like to know if the future mayor is dead.

I was not the first person to bring up BSG and Lost. I just do not see how one could dislike the finale of those two shows and find the season finale of The Killing satisfying. Furthermore, I am having trouble seeing how Holder having some secret agenda throughout the whole season that we were not privy to makes any sort of sense at all. He was the only character that seemed to evolve at all over the course of the series and it all being slight of hand revealed in the shows last two minutes is just cheap trick to pull on the show's audience. Not having a resolution is one thing (there is something beautiful about the ending to the Soprano's). Deliberately ending your show with a bs, unearned curve-ball is another thing entirely. Also, I care so little about Richmond and the family friend I literally do not care what happened there (although not showing if he shot him or not was again just a cheap trick).

to be fair, I was comparing series finales to season finales, probably not the best examples. My only real point is that I cant launch a full out attack on other shows' endings and then chastise others for doing the same to a favorite show of mine.

but yeah, I fricking hated the way BSG and LOST ended
