Throughout the years when I watched this series there was a very particular atmosphere, from season one to even the better part of season 4, an atmosphere that kind of made me feel at "home". Not that I compare myself with Elliot, not by far, even though there any be a bit of resemblance here and there in character, but in general I was in love with the melancholy in this series. But not so in the final two. Somehow they are kind of episodes of a different series to me, it became more and more clear that I was lied to. Things that appeared to have meaning were not addressed. And the fact that we never saw the real Elliot was absolutely of no importance to me, it was just a gimmick that didn't pay off, they could as well introduce Elliot's long lost brother or whatever, it wouldn't make any difference. The biggest nonsense over all for me personally was whiteroses machine. It didn't make the least sense. To accept that this gigantic machine, devised and built by an immense amount of people and being the nonsensical idea of a total nutcase is very hard to swallow. Hope did it happen in the first place? Did she go to a bunch of random scientists and ask them to build a alternative reality traveling machine? How could this thing kept getting a secret? How could it be built at the site of a nuclear reactor? And then, how convenient, we cut to an alleged alternative perfect really to dupe us into believing that the machine indeed did exactly what whiterose promised, her including. Sorry, but for me personally this series stops at somewhere around episode 7 or 8 or so, whatever came later just led to the final nonsense shows...
