I have watched lots of final episodes of various shows. In almost every one, there has been a sense of sadness. This was decent enough but it sort of plodded along. One thing that I can never understand is the advice DB gives. You go right home and get some rest! Yes, go right home with no one but you in your condo with a crazy nutcase who hasn't been caught. One whose location is unknown. Why don't you sit in your apartment with no weapon nearby--sounds like a good idea. Finally, after fifteen seasons, I'm the first one to write a review of the last episode. Now, it was a good ride; it just sort of fizzled.

Disappointing Last Episode

Finn receives a package at home apparently from her mother with the statue of twins and a severed finger in a jar. Then she receives a phone call from Paul Winthrop saying that this is the beginning of the end. In the laboratory, Russell recalls the legend of the twins Castor and Pollux and explains that Paul wants to say that now his brother and him are one and more powerful. Finn does not believe that Daniel Shaw, who is arrested, is Paul's partner. Daniel asks Finn to let him help her to find Paul's real partner. Daniel believes that Brother Larson was providing girls to Paul based on the lead he had followed to find his abducted daughter. Daniel is released to work with Finn and confronts Larson, but he says that the money he received was from Paul's father, Collin, who paid him for extortion. Hodges identifies a rare tattoo ink that was used in Jared's tattoos in the severed finger, and he locates the wife of the artist, Margo Vance, who is living in Las Vegas with her twin sister Amelia. Greg and Sara go to Amelia's apartment and find the place fully processed and no body. They find also a photo of Paul tattooed like his brother. Russell learns that Paul Winthrop's bank account is frozen, so Collin Winthrop is providing money to his son. Soon Russell learns dark secrets about the origins of Paul and Jared, disclosing the identity of their parents.
"The End Game" is the disappointing last episode of "CSI", since I was expecting an emotional story to end this series. The Gig Harbor Killer's plot is not engaging and should have ended a long time ago. The technology of listening to plants to hear a dialog between two men seems ridiculous to me. The subplot of Nick moving to San Diego is maybe the best part of this show and his farewell to Sara and Greg is nice. The open end with Finn in coma should have been better resolved by the writers, unless they expected a sequel. Paul Winthrop should have died in the end and disappoints that he has survived. My vote is seven.

Kind of underwhelming

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this series probably much younger than I should have and I have fond memories. Just finished rewatching on Hulu and I must say this was really kind of an underwhelming series finale. The only good scenes were Nick's emotional farewell to Sara to Greg ("I respect and love you both"), the 3 characters who were the only reason I watched the last 4 seasons, and him symbolically placing the Solved magnet over his name on the cases board. The Gig Harbor Killer storyline was incredibly boring and I just could not care less about it.
That's the best you could come up with?

Let me start by saying the whole Gig Harbor killer story was absolutely dreadful to watch and with that being said I can't believe they used that as the ingredients in their crap cake farewell... My question is did they decide to make a two episode season 16 to make up for such a poor series finale? If that's the case why use the Lady Heather angle? Because I thought those episodes were a close second to the GHK episodes as being the worst episodes of the show... They'd jumped the shark years before the finale but the two "series finales" showed that they apparently liked the Happy Days episode that started the whole Jumping of the the shark phenomena..!
