Tears of Relief, Sadness, Happiness, and Closure

In my opinion, this is the last episode of Northern Exposure. I've seen the official last episodes, but, really, this one is the last episode.

I feel that Joel's "overnight" transformation in Up River (1994) was extremely rushed, I wish it had been a more gradual change and something happened to rush Joel's growth. Perhaps a change in contracts, a new opportunity for Rob Morrow, or budget cuts. But, I think this should be the way the show should have ended.

Sorry, Dr. Capra, you're no Fleischman.
