Lets face it: Although this show has killed people we love R.I.P.
Shay its not often that it actually takes that leap.
However, what the season 4 finale was lacking was a general sense of urgency.

The pacing was slow, and the drama felt weightless, almost carefree.
Was anyone actually worried Dawson was going to die at that structure fire?
Did anyone think the season would end with her losing Louie?
(Spoiler: He wasnt.
Hes just a really deep sleeper.)
And thats what I mean when I say this episode felt like it lacked stakes.
By dragging out his emotional journey, it allows viewers time to lose interest.
And what are the stakes?
Jimmy and Bodens relationship?
Eh, were they ever that close?
As for the rest of the hour, it couldve picked things up just a bit.
As firefighters know: You move too slow and you things can turn ugly.
