The 9 Seasons show overall gets a 10 star rating, but not the 3 movies. I'm going to give my thoughts on all 3. I've always seen these 3 final movies as dreams / nightmares that Laura has, (they've done dream sequences before), there's just too much inconsistencies and all around messed up, never really cared for them and I grew up with this show in the 80s.
The 1st movie, Albert, who Laura was close to the most, has a bloody nose all the time, goes back to Walnut Grove, probably finds his future wife and even gets a scholarship to be a Dr, finds out he has a blood disease (leukemia?), most likely dies. The 2nd movie, years later in 1896, Rose is still only a toddler and no one has aged, it's Christmas time and Rose is kidnapped by a crazy lady. The 3rd movie, the town gets taken over with the worst possible scenario, everyone has to leave, to prevent them from getting their homes and buildings also, they blow everything up.
The 3 movies are stories that would totally break Laura and everyone else involved and just doesn't go. I know Michael Landon was difficult and stubborn by accounts of co-stars, he was mad that Little House got canceled, didn't want the set recycled, wrote or greenlit these messed up, absurd stories on purpose, which is childish. With the style of the show and certain major canon already established, like Albert returning to Walnut Grove as a Dr, it makes zero sense to end it this way. True fans of Little House would not be giving it 10 star ratings.
