I read that it doesn't have a great ending, or even a proper ending, but after almost 30 years since I started watching the show, I'll finally get to see every episode soon.
The final episode was on Thursday, and it was a suitable ending. A fair bit was retconned, but that made the closure better. Some of the episodes in the final season was a little weird, and very little conspiracy or alien episodes.
The first episode was really confusing, trying to work out how much of the final episode of the previous season was just a vision, and what was not. I really wonder if it was originally planned as a vision when the second last season was being written and filmed, or if it was just a retcon after they got renewed for another season.
I think it is best to remain ended now. Anything more will just ruin it more.
