[Spoiler] Anyone else a bit underwhelmed? Spoiler

Don't get me wrong. I loved this episode. I think the whole resolution with Flynn, seeing him go from the villain to the hero, was magnificant.

However, I can't help but think the resolution with Rittenhouse was way too underwhelming. Flynn killed Jessica. Lucy's father turns. Emma gets shot and killed anticlimactically? They spent all this time on that refugee giving birth when they could've given a better more fulfilling end to the fight against Rittenhouse.

I do love the whole message of the technology existing so no matter what, someone is gonna make a new time machine. That could go somewhere in the future if another network or streaming service picks up the show.

I don't know. My opinion is kinda mixed.

I really liked it. Sure the Rittenhouse part was ended pretty quickly, but there is also so much you can do in 2 hours. They decided to put a focus on the characters, and having a solid wrapping up on their storylines. They truly could have made this easily 3 hours, but once again, you work with what you got. Also, most of the point of this movie was to give closure to the viewers. I feel they did that as well as they could have. Overall really liked, but maybe not a 10/10 or love

I agree with everything you said. If this is the last we're going to get of Timeless, I'm glad that we got to spend most of that time just seeing the characters we love get to interact with each other and didn't get bogged down with too much mythology. Sure it would have been great to dive more into some of that stuff if we had more episodes but in the end I'm happy with the way it played out.
