The Best Episode since Season 1

This was a GREAT conclusion to Season 3 after it had been kind of meandering and getting lame since the early episodes of the season. Thoroughly enjoy how it concluded without ridiculous angst and true drama.

10 Stars!

Mia Culpa indeed.

What can I say? Hank Moody was always a constant source of inspiration for me, albeit, not a good one, in the moral sense.

That said, it was truly painful to watch this finale. Not in a bad way, don't get me wrong. In the world of TV series, this finale is probably the best that could come our way. Painful, depressing, cliff-hanging.

Personally, since I've always had this weird emotional attachment to Hank Moody, it really saddened me to see how it ended. Kudos to the writers though, the writing just keeps improving with every single episode. The poetic flow of it all is just incredible.

I'm absolutely stoked to see what Tom Kapinos & Co have in store for us come Season 4!
