First episode was slow to me, but I'm just hoping it's because its the pilot.
I'll keep watching.

didn't expect that to happen. The Swede better be dead. Hopefully it gets renewed for a third season.
Bohannon is emotionally in the exact same place as when the series began with a wife dead and a war over. As sad as the story is it's all very neatly structured. Where else can you expect such repetitive torture other than in hell?
Very very good comparison. I accepted Jimmy's death much easier despite how compelling a character he was. In a way I felt his story was told and he did all he could and had to and anything else was extra. Lily on the other hand I'm upset with and felt she could've stuck around more. I really REALLY disliked that she had to die (and although he just went bat **** crazy this season I wanted to see the Swede in the future of this show, he was just a great antagonist) but the point about him being in the same place now at the beginning is a very apt one. I guess all I can do is hope for the potential of where the story will go from here. I still feel the killers of his wife motive and story line hasn't completely been settled. Cullen just killed an innocent and that made the path he was taking really distateful to himAs you said, great finale.
Lily's death was a good one in the sense that it wasn't over the top, but simple yet effective. People are irate over her death much like people were over Jimmy Darmondy of Boardwalk Empire. Its not often that writers make the decision to kill primary characters much less the leading lady so early. However, they need to realize that like Jimmy the show was never about her. She just helped flesh out Cullen's character.
I've been dreading the future of this show. I had it made up in my mind that it was gonna be canceled. Makes it hard to hope for it when it was the lead in to Breaking Bad and still wasn't getting talked about a lot.Gotta wonder what's going to happen from here on now that Bohannon has the chance to be the head of the railroad project. He never gave his answer, but we do know that he'll continue working on the project as seen in the last scene. I think he will given the fact that his wife was from a railroad family.
Some critics out there think that it may be the last episode of the series seeing that AMC has given no word on a renewal. This is a very bad sign given that the season is over. It would make sense given the ending as it was both a season and series finale. All of the story lines were concluded. As someone on TV.com put it:
