Underwhelming finale, for sure.

I wanted a scene between Saul and Allison where we got to see her reaction upon getting captured and realizing that the jig was up. Seeing her get shot in the trunk of a car without getting to watch her process just how hosed she was felt abrupt and anticlimactic. It was an unsatisfying way to wrap up what I felt was the most compelling storyline of the season. Speaking of which, I completely agree with the "more spy games, less Carrie soap opera bullshit next season, please" sentiment.

On another note, I sincerely hope next season doesn't invest too much time in a prolonged back and forth wherein Saul keeps trying to get a resistant Carrie to join the CIA. Its a trite storyline, and I'd much prefer the season to start off with her being back in the agency.

With all that said, I still enjoyed this season. I don't think the show will ever again reach the towering heights of season one (or even the semi-towering heights of season two), but as long as they keeping churning out decent spycraft stuff, it'll be watchable. F. Murray Abraham still feels criminally underused, and it would be great to see his character have more of a pronounced role next season.
