This has happened to many TV shows. The writers suddenly need to tie up a lot of loose ends - very quickly. This seldom ends well, and this episode is no exception. Complex issues and conflicts that have been going on for years (or decades) are solved almost like magic, in minutes, with no clever way of compensating for it. Any sort of realism is non-existent.
Too many last-minute new angles and events were thrown in in the mix in an attempt to heighten the drama, but a lot of that was built on zero or little foundation and that way didn't stick the landing, or at least it seemed hollow to me.
The writers seem to fall back on the simple concept of death/exit/the end way too often to bail them out of their time-crunch. It's just too easy. Figuratively speaking: Order a nuclear strike. Watch the mushroom clouds. The end. Why bother coming up with anything clever, realistic or interesting?
Myself, I have grown to loathe almost every character on this show equally. Thus, I am not exactly sad to see any of them or the show itself end.
