THIS. I swear I was just thinking about this the other day; one of the worst things, in retrospect, was that now whenever I remember *anything* about the series, I also remember that the finale happened.

Speaking as a girl who's lost her father, who'll never see him hold her children or walk her down the aisle, the fact that the writers clearly thought the scene at the end magically made everything happy and okay enraged me literally to the point of nausea.
