I don't know why this episode got bad reviews. It was the best by far. It was definitely the most realistic. I don't want to give spoilers but this episode was full of emotions. I did like many of the previous episodes but for me this episode spoke the most. It could have had a happier but also a more unrealistic ending but then that wouldn't have been true to what the series was about. I think it ended the way it needed to end. I still think this snow would have been better as a movie and I don't know the purpose in 20 something minute episodes but all in all it was a good mini series for the most part.
