I was disapointed in the finale just because it felt a bit too "contrived". I couldn't buy Dickie sneaking up and getting the drop on Raylin. Boyd showing up to save the day was about as far as I could buy Raylin's good luck -- but then later Art and the other marshals showed up in force to save the day (after Art had told Winona that Raylin was on his own). It was just a bit much.
I'm also not sure that I buy Mags not taking Raylin with her when she poisons herself. Or even that Raylin would sit down and have a drink with her knowing the full extent of what she and her boys had done (and after they had both just been shot, by the way).
There were about 10 other little nitpicky things that bothered me and kept pulling me out of the show, but I won't bore everyone with the details.
I really think that they might have had it scripted as either a 90-minute or 2-hour finale and had to cut it down to one. Then again, the episodes leading up to the finale were so well done ... maybe my expectations were just too high.
