How to stop an exploding man... without really trying

I hate that I'm trying to do this 24 hours later, but I'm switching the vid onto my computer now so I have something to "remind" me. I haven't read many reviews, but I have discovered through my f-list that apparently there's a lot of dissappointment going around about the finale. I must admit I'm a little surprised by this as I was not disappointed at all. In fact it felt like the end of some climactic movie that I applauded at the end for a job well done and am heartily looking forward to the next season. I've also realised I have a very unique view on what happened.
