Like artificial flavoring, it has good elements but leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. The change in direction toward the beliefs in the prophets in last season or so was weak. It went from using the beliefs as allegories for challenging blind faith and so on to a level of supernaturalism which seemed like promotion for the methods of belief which were criticized in earlier seasons. And the whole "the book was the key" idea was trashy. On top of the excessive hocus pocus elements, the last episode had way too many deus ex machina moments. Even the Founders' leaders positive transformation seemed to be a cheap way to end a story arc which stretched across seasons.
It least it did not involve a hokey time travel finish like other series. But it still seems cheap in the end. Honestly, it seems to me that the powers that be have terrible difficulties with ending series with good stories.
