Does that mean it was a bad ending? No
Does that hurt the show in any way? No
And there's a perfectly logical reason why it was so streamlined, and considering how tight everything was if we got a 'breaking bad'-esque ending we would probably have hella questions this morning when we haven one. So it is nitpicking.

But as someone said above, it's probably the most shocking way they could have ended it.
