'Where we going buddy' that's the same


question I want to know. Where are we going with this whole thing??? And why did we have to go so far away from the original story which still had so much more to explore without creating new sub plots that have nothing to do with anything. How 'bout we just go back to Montauk???!!!!

I love everything they have done!

Can't wait for season four!

Everyone is allowed their opinion, but yours should be forfeited. Season three was mostly horrid.

I'm disgusted by this finale. I didn't even know it was the finale until it was over. I thought my eyes would bleed from all the tiny subtitles I actually asked my daughter for her prescription glasses in the hope that I could finally figure out what the French were saying. Merde!! Juliette's character was just stupid who cares about her we want to see the original characters. Will we ever find out who really was chasing Young Noah in the woods? Were Helen's parents mad for being locked in the panic room? I would be totally pissed off. So Gunther never, ever, did any of the mean and quite tasteless things to Noah the ass at all. All that useless carrying on for naught? And where the eff is Allison anyway? Thank God Helen went back to Vic bc I couldn't take any more of her letting Noah kick her around. I think Vic should have moved on and met some one with waaay less baggage. I am so thoroughly disgusted I think I have just talked myself into being done with this show. Done.

Me! I think Juliette's character (and her excellent portrayal by Irene Jacob) has been a great addition to the show.

I agree as a finale it didn't really work because it was far removed from the main storylines but as an episode I found it quite good. I just wish it had been earlier in the season.

Will we ever find out who really was chasing Young Noah in the woods?
His dad - it showed that last episode. He was angry at Noah for assisting his wife's suicide.

No, it was all in Noah's messed up head.

Were Helen's parents mad for being locked in the panic room?
I imagine so. But really, the fact that they were angry wouldn't have added anything to the ongoing story, so really no need to see it.

Personally I'm interested where the show will go in S4. I've actually enjoyed Noah's storyline the most this year and there's still the Alison/Cole/Luisa storyline to resolve - he seemed to make his choice but was that really his final decision?

In my head I kept saying, 'Don't say Montauk, don't say Montauk'.

Noah could just go back to his Dad's house and contemplate ways to be a better father. Especially now, considering all his kids know he isn't a murderer.

Actually was it ever revealed to the viewer that Whitney was told that he wasn't a murderer??? I don't believe so. The other thing I forgot to mention in my original post on this thread was that the cab drivers voice sounded kind of creepy so I'm hoping they're not going to do a whole Noah thinks it's the prison guard scenario again. And lastly, as a side note, I hated that they spent weeks on Noah's addiction and hallucinations and then fixed it all with one line thanking the French lady for her help with it! They spent the whole season on this storyline then they disregarded it in one sentence. It' feels as though nobody told the writer it was the season finale till two seconds before they shot it.
