Like the last series finale, plot wrapping up with 20 minutes to go is never a good sign.
But man, they went there! Best affirmation of friendship shown by a stake to the heart ever! Now, I'm biased as I got fed up with Mitchell last series, so I'm not exactly heart broken he's gone to film the Hobbit dead, but the whole realizing he needed to be stopped did redeem him in my eyes. And they did act the hell out of that scene. Yes, I cried.
Some issues, like where did Tom go? And Herrick catching a dose of plot induced stupidity to believe that Mitchell was not going to kill him. Come on man, you're supposed to be a vampire mastermind, of course he's going to fucking stake you, look at him being all intense and cryptic and looking at sunsets and stuff!
