The only frustrating part of that episode to me is the knowledge that
it was the final episode. I desperatly wanted to see the next episode
after that. I have to disagree with about not being heart wrenching
enough. When they cut to the scene of the plane with the airport paging
Burnside... It felt as powerfull as any other scene in the series,
with the exception of Willie and Neil's conversation after Laura's death.
Quite possibly as powerfull as Laura's death scene.
