I did not like when this episode first came out and Simon and his team had to kill off Omar. I thought it was a disservice to not either A) Let him ride until the finale, or B) Make him one of the few to get out of the game alive. Simon did neither, so the scene at the later half of the episode was a total shock and make me sick to my stomach.
Now in 2022, I am not that mad about it since what unfortunately happened with Michael K. Williams, but was always hoping the series could be rebooted and he would be in it again as Omar.
Upon Michael's passing, that is when I sort of cooled off about how Simon handled the Omar character, but still makes me sad we won't see any more of the character (or even the series) as it used to be.
In terms of how Season 5 was the close out season of the series, I know no one makes it out of Baltimore alive in hindsight, but this was tough to watch when it first came out. This was probably more due to the fact the show was ending more than anything else.
