Yeah season 2 was good television and the finale closed it well. Unlike last season, at least half the episodes were really memorable. As a book reader, I wasn't unhappy with any of the plot departures that were made this episode - it all made sense within the Turning that the show depicts. Although I can't say I loved the showy CGI in the sky at the end- those sort of things rarely stand up over time and I think it looked goofy.
