Also, no Toby? Yes, the whole bit with his pardon made him a presence in a way, but I wanted him there. They couldn't have taken a few seconds to show him at home, watching the inauguration on TV? Because you know he was. And then he's interrupted by a phone call....
There were a few lovely things. Jed saying goodbye to Charlie. Will tossing Toby's ball against the wall. "WWLD?" But for me, the real finale was last week, seeing CJ trying to decide what to do with the rest of her life and having those glorious moments with Toby and Danny. This was just a postscript. A tasteful, well-executed postscript, but nonetheless.
I'm glad the show got these last two seasons. If they had cancelled it back when NBC first threatened to, I would probably have had a bad taste in my mouth. As it is, it didn't quite go out on the top of its game, but there was a definite return to form, and I appreciate that. At its best, it was one of the greatest shows ever, and I am going to miss it.
