I think a lot of people are missing the point with this episode.
Yes, it would have been lovely to see Kevin and Winnie together at the end, but how realistic would that have been? Wasn't there a sense all along that the memories adult Kevin was retelling were so raw, so rose-tinted at times, that they were for a love lost rather than being for 'the one'?
I thought this episode, as with 99% of them was excellent, with the final epilogue scenes being a class above most of what passes for entertainment on TV.
'The Wonder Years' taught us so much, it will continue to, and this finale doesn't deserve the flak it gets.
