The second hour of the finale was just not written well. To be fair to them, telling a satisfying ending for every character would have taken two more episodes---but it seems like at some point they just lost the scope of the story, ending it in ungeneralizable (faux) microcosm. It's okay. It was evident from the end of 4.0 that the writers were overmatched by their story. Then again, I guess that's a good problem to have. In the end, that's why it was only the second best show on TV. (Lost is the best, probably ever.) Sorry for the late reply, but I kind of agree with you on most of the points.
