I didn't read anything about the season through the press, so this is news to me. Out of curiosity, did Tom Perrotta have any say in how the show was wrapped up?

I almost want the reasoning for The Departure to stay unresolved since that'll take away some of the allure and mysticism that surrounds the show, but I guess I shouldn't complain too much since the show runners have delivered a ton so far.
