I'd imagine that was just one. No way that could've been everything
People didn't see that Nora shit coming? ;P There would be no point to her relationship with Eph otherwise. First rule of cheap drama: build a relationship, give the character something, then immediately take it away. This show is predictable that way, and it doesn't even bother with setting up stuff much early either.
I loved how Coco amounted to nothing as well. Again, the setup was so obvious I didn't think they'd stoop that low with both love interest characters but they fucking did. Oh wait, love is the wrong word, I meant the opposite. Fucking hell, lol. Even zombie mom had to be dead first to accomplish anything of note, and what she accomplishes is a big fuck you to the audience. Fuck Zack too, as if it needed to be said.
The auction and bus action scenes were good at least. I still love that old dumb fuck Setrakian for some reason. Oh well.
See you next season you dumb fucking show.

-Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk you Zach!!!!!!!!!!! Useless piece of shit!!!
-After all those tease about the Lumen, and they end the season with Setrakian finally gets the book without explaining jack shit....urghhh....
-Not a book reader, so I'm guessing Dutch will replace Nora's role from the book?? Because if it is, lol.
This season has been mostly frustrating to watch except for the assassination episode and this finale. They really need to cut down on these fillers.
Also, biggest mystery of the show ----- What the hell happen to the new opening???? Such an elaborate effort and they only use it for 1 episode????

ZAAAAAAACH! Fucking die already, you piece of shit.
You cunt. You caused the death of a more interesting characters. FUCK YOU!!!! So disappointing that Nora is dead, so so disappointed. Although I do have to wonder why she didn't just stay on the train....
LOL Coco. LOL.
Quinlan. Sigh When are we going to see him really go all out and wreck some shit?

Not a great finale. I already knew Nora was a goner once Mia Maestro got a gig on another show.

They're playing the long game. They allocated just as much funds as they thought were needed, though I'm surprised they fell short. They still have mountains of treasure needed to guide the rest of the world in myriad secret ways.
Why didn't they kill Eichorst while they were on the island with the gang dudes? Setrakian should have been goading them into shooting him when they had all those guns pointed at his head.
I'm glad Coco is dead. I never believed there was a bigger reason for her to hook up with Palmer. Was wtf at him cutting out her heart.
Poor Nora. She actually ended up one of the more reasonable characters and she's dead and we still have fucking Eph to deal with. Of course once he left to get some booze I knew what was coming. He is a terrible father and Nora died playing mommy to his brat. I am glad Zach is with his mom and the Master though. Best thing to happen all season honestly.

I hope it was the actress' decision to leave, and not the writers thinking this was a great storytelling move. I guess I should have smelled it with the recent flashback episode though, since suddenly filling out a character's backstory that way just before their death is a common cheap writers trick in lesser TV shows.
I'm bummed out now, because for all its faults I kinda liked the show. But with all the narrow escapes, her dying this way just seemed dumb and pointless.
In every way. I'd even go as far as say the show is INSPIRED by the books, by no means show ABOUT the books.
I heard it's meant to be 5 seasons? If they cancel it I'll protest. Somewhere. Somehow. Alone. Unless you guys join me. ARE YOU WITH ME?!
This is the one thing that pisses me off the most, even more than Zack - Coco.
What the fuck was the damn point in bringing Coco in?! She was just there to die and the character development for Palmer. She was absolutely pointless, meaningless, not to mention plain stupid to see how things are. This didn't even feel like an actual love story, this was an old man who's never even seen love before having his ego tickled by a hot french girl 20 years younger than him. There was nothing romantic about it, which I feel like was 'the point'. Fuck Coco and her existence. I am disappointed.
Best ending - I'LL JUST STAY IN THE BACKGROUND AND LOOK COOL
20? More like 40 years younger.
It's a little bit more complicated than that. But the Master is the main target.
Do you REALLY want to be book spoiled?
It is kind of explained in the contents of the Lumen, so we'll get there eventually. But the Ancients have had a lot more influence over humanity than it's led to believe. They've just been doing it from the shadows, slowly. The master has more .... direct approach to it.
Yeah, I kinda liked that about the books. The Ancients were monsters just the Master, but they just preferred not to be dicks about it.

I just liked how all those hardcore gangbangers just turn around on their morals and try to save humanity lol. Like, come on.... I don't think they care at all about anybody else but themselves and their gang colors.

Why would you want to travel underground during a vampire infestation?
Zach is literally the worst character ever.

How about use a cell phone to take pictures of the books contents then hand the book over?

Zack is seriously the worst character on TV ever. And it's not even like hating on Joffrey from Game of Thrones where he's just constantly being a little shit within character, Zack is written in the most erratic way combined with how hateable his actor looks.
What an awful character. Sucks about
too since she was one of the more tolerable female characters on the show.
Kind of tempted to read the books now since apparently this was a pretty big deviation.

Wow, did not see Nora death's. Funny I was just telling my wife about who dies in the books and lives when this happens. Wonder what other changes the show will have.

I think this sets up Palmer for a face turn. Or at least he'll work to fuck up the master's plans from the shadows.
Can't see him taking that shit lying down. He hasn't been shown to be thr type of character who just rolls over.

It's no Leftovers though, so it could be worse...

Trust me, Zach is no better in the books. I hated him just as much while reading, if not more.
