Still, as the CW's long-running drama came to a close, droves of fans began venting their disappointment even going so far as to compare the closer to Game of Thrones's widely-detested ending. As with any finale, some loved the episode and some hated it but the ones who hated this ending really hated it.

The result of all this was an ending to the plot that fans could be satisfied with  though the final episode arguably wasn't the story's proper ending, which actually came in the episode right before the finale. The series finale itself was  well, it was a lot, and it clearly wasn't designed to make every fan happy.
