It looks like it has been eight years since I have watched this episode.
It is a good episode and it gives the characters some closures. And even though I like the ending overall, I still have the feeling to being left a little unsatisfied:
What with everyone dying or going to their certain deaths.

As I just finished watching this series, I am posting this review out of order. This last season was a nice watch. I really enjoyed it. And we got a nice conclusion to the series.
And I have to admit, that I am happy that contrary to rumors I had read when this season first aired none of the main characters dies in the finale. Though I am a little disappointed that they didn't give Sarah her memories back. Only hinting that she may get them back.

Plot:
Gordon Brittas goes from strength to strength. Despite his failed endeavour, and despite the endeavours of both his staff and his wife to depose him, Whitbury Leisure Centre continues to thrive.
Brittas continues to dream up new schemes to promote and improve the centre including a bungee jump, sequential staff reviews and computerisation - all with the usual Brittas diplomacy, aplomb and mayhem. Julie, heavily pregnant, embraces the bungee jump whereas Tim tries everything he can to avoid it at all costs. Meanwhile Colin has several tons of elephant manure delivered in a bid to find his engagement ring, lost at the zoo. The ring holds the key to his future happiness with Mrs Harcourt.
Julie is enjoying armed police protection and the constant body searches begin to irritate Brittas; Helen however does not share this irritation particularly as a certain PC Edwards is not such a bad looking chap! Helen is studying to be a therapy counsellor and needs to understand the benefits of both giving...and receiving! Maybe the body searches aren't such a bad thing after all.
Finally, the goings on at Whitbury bring about the attentions of Roger Ferguson, Investigative Journalist. Brittas believes this to be a serious documentary, begins coaching his staff in television presentation techniques and recruits a good looking male model as a stand in for Colin! Colin's rat takes a swim in the pool and there follows a strange outbreak of Bobula fever. Will Whitbury survive?

An average episode which brings some closure to one of the final storylines. But I am not sure about the ending. On the one hand it is fitting, but on the other hand I don't like when a whole series turns out to be a dream by the main character

A good last episode. It resolves the main relationship dramas. And there is a little twist:
First it looks like Lolle chooses her career over love and Sarah and Hart also break up. But then it rewinds and we see that it was only one possible ending imagined by Lolle and she decides to go after Sven.

Journeyman
Season 1.13 Perfidia
I really enjoyed this short series, and I also liked its finale. Even though it was cancelled and they didn't get a chance to do a proper series finale, I feel that this episode brings good closure.
Dan finds out a little more about the time travelling and he accepts that the time-travelling is his calling and he doesn't want to look for a way out anymore.

"Being Erica" is a great series, which I can definately recommend. Also the final episode is a good conclusion to this series.
The last season on the other hand has disappointed me somewhat. Not that it doesn't have good episodes. It does. But the last episode of the previous season promised a specific direction that the series will take, but in my opinion it did not live up to it.
Last season ended with Erica being promoted to a doctor herself. But then it turned out, that she is only a doctor in training. I wanted a season where Erica already has the time-travel ability and learns to use it. And that she will have a real patient. But actually she only learns here by giving helpful advice to friends. Only in the last episode she becomes a full doctor and gets her first real patient. This season would have been great as a second-to-last season. But as a final season I would have liked something like the last few minutes of the last episode promised and I thought I would get with this season.

Bachmann (Charlie), Robert Lee (Man #2), Inger Jackson (Woman #2)
I have now finished this series and I have to admit, that I enjoyed it more than expected. I enjoyed all seven seasons and never got bored with it.
I had feared that the series will end on a cliffhanger, because I had read that fans are not happy with the finale and that there was trouble with the network and the series got cancelled earlier than planned. But I have to say, that I am satisfied with the way that the series ended.
Rory graduates from Yale and got a job giving here the needed creds to follow her dream career. She splits up with Logan, whom I never liked. Lorelei and Luke get back together again. And the relationship between Lorelei and her mother has improved that much, that they will continue spending time together even after Rory is not there anymore to be the link between them.
Also the whole town throws a Bon Voyage party for Rory, which also serves as a nice good bye to the characters for the viewers.
Rating:
I didn't like the last season or so as much either...but I was happy with the last episode. I liked how they dealt with things and tied things up.
I loved that Micheal came back even though he didn't get to do much. It was enough. Even though he was an idiot...I still liked him and like that he was happy...and that they let the audience know that he was happy with Holly.
