One question though. Why does Hays’ son place the address in his pocket at the end?

Pretty underwhelming season and, in the end, just not that interesting.
His dementia added nothing to the show IMO, I would have preferred him as an obsessed old man. I kept waiting for it to mean something, and even the scene with Julie didn't deliver.
Amelia and his relationship was horrible, no way they'd have stayed together.

At some point I was reaching for anything because the story needed an extra kick. Didn’t get it last night at all.

the most ironic part of the episode was the talk about how beginnings are easy and endings are hard
i thought it was a nod to season 1 and its criticism ("and THIS time we're going to solve it all!") but it became legit ironic for the ep/season

my biggest gripe about the episode is how they just literally sat us down and told us how it all went down
oh well
I'll just continue to enjoy the ride when it comes to TD, despite knowing that the ending will provide little payoff

that episode really did feel like a "frick you" to people like me who got mad at the ending to season 1
this whole season felt like it set up as a less spiritual/magical version of season 1 that would be "solved", but that last ep? oh yeah it felt like a middle finger. from the simple exposition-explanation to the rejection of any sort of conspiracy (and it ultimately being an accident of sorts), it just felt manipulative
trying to make the focus of the episode the love story was also pretty weak, imho, ignoring everything else

He should have cut out all the stuff with the daughter. It was pointless.

it's funny how the most boring explanations can "solve" recurring themes of anger and conspiracy for the entire 2 months of the show

Im guessing the writers rationale for not having someone tell Julie about how much Tom loved her and how he died (not a suicide) was ultimately Wayne thinking after all she's been through and where her life is now it would hurt her more than help. They showed several other examples of this with him not telling his wife why he was burning his clothes. Said it would cause more Harm. Told his son not to tell his wife about the affair because it would hurt her even more.

Such a huge letdown. All the build up and these great writers tie up all the loose ends through a vision with Amelia and a conversation with the one eyed black man? No followup on the Elisa angle and no retribution from Hoyt following their one on one? Weak.
Even the stray dog encounter following the bar fight (which was dumb and unrealistic) seemed amateurish.
The viewers were given teases all throughout the series of something dark and sinister and we get a happy ending with no justice to the killers and abductor?
I would have settled for a PTSD episode with Purple Hays flipping out and getting killed.
In my opinion the entire series is tarnished by yet again (like season one) an uninspired finish.

The season was essentially a great build up, with bases loaded, 2 outs, bottom of the 9th.
Then in the finale, the pitcher hit the batter. It resolved everything, but we aren't the players. We are on the outside looking in and we wanted more than a cheap ending.

on initial viewing I hated it but now that it's had some time to marinade i feel better about it.
i do feel like all of you forgot that the line right before the "time is a flat circle" line from S1 ya'll love so much Rust says "this is a world where nothing is solved."

If you do, please report back to this board. I'm trying to do the same thing! Was fantastic!

Have Wayne tell his daughter that her father loved her and never stopped looking for her.
Something.
She didn't remember her father like that, hence the call about the man "pretending to be" her father. Mentioning that to her would have been selfish and destructive given what she managed to make from her life.

WTF you can't be serious. Examining the effects of dementia on his character, including the actual physical manifestation of that to try and show the audience, was one of the best parts of his storyline.

Hoyt and his daughter are dead and Mr. June's justice is to have to live with himself the rest of his life
I do wish they would have tied in the AG and that State Police Captain in knowingly covered up for Hoyt and them getting busted

This is my biggest problem with the finale and hays not talking to Julie about Tom. Tom was the reason we cared about this story. He was the embodiment of grief and injustice and he died trying to find his daughter. Roland should have gone with hays to find Julie and told her how much her dad loved her. That would have been redeeming.
I think the end with him sitting with his family (including Roland) and he’s smiling and happy looking at his grandkids.
I think he did remember what he was in Greenland for while he was drinking the water but he saw how happy the little girl and Julie was and realized that he didn’t want to bring all of it down on them. I think he realized what the case did to his life and his family and the happiness he saw in Lucy, he didn’t want to intrude on her family.
Just aggravated me that they don’t explain where Purples wife is at now or how she died. She was a very large part of the story and it was just left dangling there.
Someone asked earlier how she just showed up and gave Hayes pertinent information. I think she’s just his conscience.
