I was really taken-aback at first to find out just how unpopular it was because of "lack of closure", but yeah would it really have been better if it ended on a fake note of Alicia running after Jason and catching him in the nick of time, or clinking glasses with Diane as they toast a new firm? This was a much more powerful statement on Alicia's character to end it on

The only off note for me was that Cary didn't get much of a conclusion, and that it was a sad way to end it for Diane (although I choose to believe that she and Kurt will be fine). I guess I can kind of make sense of Cary's ending if I squint though lol, he was obviously ready to get out of the cut-throat world of law and backstage politics

And thank you :)
