I don't think I was too clear in the message you're responding to, because what you just typed wasn't what I was saying. To be clear, I am fine with the show ending, but I would rather the rationale for The Departure to be left unresolved since that is consistent with the whole point of the show; the people left behind and as result the audience being kept off balance because there is no rhyme or reasoning to what happened.

What I do want from this finale is some resolution in terms of the on screen characters since that much is fair, but I also would prefer to keep somethings (in my eye, the reasoning for The Departure) left open and unresolved and left for interpretation. Having some room for subjectivity makes things more entertaining for me.
