I was really enjoying this show this season. It was really starting to get good despite plot holes and unbelievable actions taken by some characters. I could forgive all in the name of fun until that annoying kid pressed the button. Now I'm done. I'm going to forget the last ten minutes ever happened and just let the series end in my mind unfinished.
Why did they do this??? Palmer was finally showing some strength and becoming a bad ass. We even got his back story. Excellent until they immediately kill him off. And why didn't Palmer plan Eichorst's execution better? How about some UV light like he had in previous episodes. He could have set up hidden lights in the elevator knowing Eichorst would try to escape that way. Or at least a bigger, better ambush to prevent his escape and possible survival. Scratch my second favorite character. At least I still have Eichorst.
And why wasn't the nuke safely out of New York? Preferably in a location where they could have used it to vaporize the Master in his box instead of the ridiculous idea of sinking him in the ocean? Didn't any of them read The Stand? It always makes sense to use the bad guy's own nuke against him. Reminds me of Austin Powers... "Begin the unnecessarily slow dipping mechanism." We'll lock him in a box, drop it in the ocean, leave and assume it all went to plan, what? What? Oh and BTW... I think Feraldo would have wiped her face a little quicker this time. I mean WTF??? It's like she was determined to get another worm in that eye. Jeeesh. Good riddance to her and her terrible acting.
Then there's Zach. I've met some stupid kids, some messed up kids, but this is really pushing the limits of suspension of disbelief. How about running into his father's arms and crying? That would have made sense. After reuniting with Dad and joining the fight, maybe he could still have control of his pet strigoi. Could have been an interesting and useful twist.
Can anyone explain why the second nuke was so much more powerful? I understand that the first was underground. Yes, that would greatly limit its range, but an underground nuke of that power would still have caused more destruction and surely the remaining cops would have been talking about it.
As for the second nuke: Eph and company all looked at the fireball, so they would all be blind. Of course their blindness would never have been noticed because everything within the 5psi blast range would have been disintegrated instantly. But even if they were not in that range, the power of the shock wave as shown when it blew Quinlan away and rolled Eichost's car would have easily killed all of them, human and strigoi alike. If not, the heat blast would have incinerated them at that range also, but alas that never came so I guess the 10,000 degree heat was bearable... and I guess it didn't evaporate any water in the Hudson sparing them from the Tsunami wave that should have flooded Manhattan.
And since the Master escaped unharmed, I can only assume he took some survival lessons from Indiana Jones. Let me know if the Master shows up in season 4 wearing a fedora and carrying a whip. I won't be watching.
Oh, and I love how easy it is to get nukes. "Hmm, we'll take two please, suitcase type. And supersize one of them." If it was that easy, Iran would have blown up New York long before the Master showed up.
