This is the way a finale should be done- "always leave them wanting more," but a full circle conclusion that honors each and every significant character and relationship we've grown to know and love on the show.
Although the flash forwards throughout the season were new, they quickly felt "right" and did a great job of keeping the audience curious while answering what would have been outstanding "what-ifs" had they not been included. This also allowed the show to go out on a positive note, ending on a high in Midge's life without it feeling too easy. All in all, I have zero complaints or critiques when it comes to the finale as an episode or as a grand conclusion. Marvelous, indeed.
