One of the best?
No, I was waiting to see a lighting bolt on the baby's forehead after Alex "sacrificed" herself, but if we are truly being realistic about the difficulty of life in that time what were the odds of her surviving multiple amputations after extreme exposure compounded by potential kidney and/or liver failure and cardiac issues.
Before anyone talks about Alex surviving the freezing weather for that long would be unrealistic how realistic is it having Spencer survive jumping off a moving train not once, but twice and from what I can tell didn't pick up any injuries. Hell, the second time he jumps off the back of the train which most likely means he is landing on tracks and ties and not a snow bank and he doesn't even come up with a limp. No need to go into his walking around in freezing weather without a coat and showing no issues of the cold.
Maybe I am just disappointed that Sheridan could create a world in which both Monica and Beth survive and get to live with Rip and Kacey and both Faith and Alex end up dead due to the cold.
The fight being Whitfield's men, Cara, and the hands was good, though I am not sure why they didn't break out the tommy gun earlier in the fight. Suspected that when Spencer joined the fight it would be over quickly, but damn, that was almost anti-climatic, wouldn't go as far as saying it was night king death anti-climatic and expected the battle hardened Spencer would dispatch of a group of guys who thought they were hard men, but the fight in the house was over in less than 10 seconds.
Whitfield was a complete piece of shit, deserved to die, but Spencer says he was going to kill him for killing Alex? What? he didn't kill Alex, hell, he didn't Spencer's brother John. He has been trying to take away the ranch and he has tried to kill his Aunt, Sister in Law, Uncle, Him, etc.....but not Alex. I would have preferred if the blonde had grabbed a knife off the table and stabbed he and the brunette.
Finally, Rainwater is released, but she has no idea where she is, has no money, is told to go to California, but does she even know which way she is supposed to travel since we are told two episodes earlier by her Dad that the stars are different and it makes it difficult to travel by them.
Both my wife and I felt this final episode was better than the rest of Season 2, but as I said what type of world is it that Tim dies, Faith dies, Alex dies, Jack dies, and Monica and Beth live.
