I don't want to keep being negative, I really don't. Even though I was down on a lot of the story arc stuff this season I still enjoyed the show thanks to the characters and actors and humour and mostly fun standalone episodes.
But that was a really bad finale. I could be nice and say "well at least it wasn't as bad as the GOT finale!" but not much is!
I thought maybe the problem was that it was too rushed, and the whole season was too rushed. That maybe they needed a two hour finale at least. But if that was the case, why did they waste so much time on Liv's pointless dad and his metal head? Why wasn't he the final big bad instead of Enzo? At least that would have justified all the time spent on him. So really they could have done a good final season in 13 episodes with better planning.
So much of it just fell flat. Peyton "dies" and comes back as a zombie because they need her to be a zombie for one scene where she reveals the truth to Don E (sure was lucky that Blaine suddenly turned into an idiot and had her eat the brain of someone who witnessed him killing Don E's teenage bride!) Blaine has no final showdown with Liv or anyone, who just gets pushed down a well and that's it. We get to see Ravi crying over Peyton's death but not his reaction to her coming back.
Major gets a fake death too and then Liv does then they fake their deaths for ten years...for some reason? Like they tried to say it was because Dolly was still hunting them down, but they live in a world where zombies are accepted and how much power could Dolly have? She's managed to evade capture for TEN YEARS? Why do they even have to skip TEN YEARS instead of just, like, one? Why did Liv and Major wait so long to offer to make their friends immortal? Isn't spending eternity raising unaging zombie kids who were never as good as Isobel from last season anyway pretty creepy?
Some random Fillmore Graves person helps Major. Then dies.
Enzo gets killed by...some guy.
Dolly's son who was in one scene in one episode before this (where we found out he was her son) returns. To die instantly.
Michelle comes back for one line just so she can instantly die and Clive gets both babies. But didn't they reveal earlier in the season that her baby wasn't his?
The worse thing of all, though, was that Liv got FUCK ALL to do the whole episode. She hit Don E with a rock. That was it. It's not like she's had a long-standing rivalry with Don E or anything, so it means nothing. Otherwise she just cried at people dying (who weren't dead!)
I think there were other things that annoyed me too but I'll stop with the Liv complaint because that's the main and most damning one.
