    Glenn Close needs to find some more work in TV quick, fast and in a hurry! I really liked her in this show. The finale was great for me, it was lacking in some parts.

    It wasn't perfect, but it was damn good. Glenn Close was as brilliant as ever this episode. Especially the scene with her father...and then that death at the end. They killed one of my favorite characters... but... it's like Michael said: "It's like she hasn't hurt enough"... That look at the end of the show just kinda stared through my soul. Way intense. Wonderful series finale, especially since the rest of the season didn't really go all that well. I mean they pretty much got rid of the McClaren case just so we could have our Patty and Ellen endings. And boy did we get them. O_O

    Great finale indeed, this kinda of work could get Ms Hewes another Emmy next year.
    Sad to notice that the episode tech wise was as bad as always, and that CG house with the awful green screen at the end was something that they should've tried to avoid.

    This, my friends, is how you end a show. Glenn freaking Close!

    That was a brilliant finale with some seriously brilliant performances.

    Close was just superb. Aspiring actors should be forced to watch that episode and analyze what she did in the scenes with her father and in the limousine! She underplayed it, but still gave powerfully emotional performances in those two scenes. Most actors today go for the obvious and direct approach and Close delivered the unexpected and subtle nuanced approached.
    Take notes mediocre actors of network TV. Watch it. Enjoy it. Learn it.
    I was a bit worried 90% through that it was going to to feel unsatisfactory or a bit of a let down with no pay off once Ellen was shown to be alive. Then the surprise death of Michael left me wondering how it all would end. Part of me was hoping that Ellen had a brain tumor or some medical condition that was terminal and was going to frame Patty for her death! XD
    Damages was one of the few series that truly kept me guessing and often times completely in the dark for most of the season. Kudos to a great series.

    Have to agree with you, what a great show.... Here's what I thought
    5 seasons of intrigue, drama and compelling performances. As a whole, it was a great show, a magnet of talented actors (Ted Danson, William Hurt, Dylan Baker, John Goodman...), complex and daring and finally unique with the case of the season and its trademark flash forward mystery. As much as I loved the series and although in my opinion it never jumped the shark, it was time to end it.
    That being said, I thought the finale managed to pull all the pieces together and yet come back to the start of it all: did Patty try to kill Ellen or not? So, it was a moving episode that wrapped everything and came back to beginning. We've seen so much levels of damage that power can cause, to so many different people, directly, or indirectly. And thus, we reach the truly beautiful coda. Good thing there was a reason the purse strings had been as tight this Season and the production values went up for this episode, because it was much quicker and more beautiful than the episodes before, and the direction was excellent in the final minutes. And then the ultimate shot of the most damaged person in the series' world: Patty Hewes.
    -In a way that was the ending I was hoping for: both women losing a lot, and those losses catalyzing their eventual, and final, closure. Michael's death scene was heartbreaking, I never liked him and still felt a pang of sorrow when I saw him foolishly threaten Scully.
    -The pier scene was great, it was heartbreaking to watch Ellen once again fall apart upon realizing she had been played by Patty once more, this time into abstaining from every moral she'd claimed to have.
    -Glenn Close had scene after amazing scene here. She absolutely killed the scene between Patty and her father, and that facial expression that closed out the series was deeply affecting.
