I am very disappointed in this whole season, especially the final episode... The season itself jumped around so badly that it was difficult to follow, and the "triangle" went on way too long... Honestly I don't feel there should ever have been a triangle in the first place... In my opinion I don't feel that the writers ever really gave Nathan a fighting chance to win Elizabeth's heart even tho they strung us along to believe that she truly had feelings for him... I feel the way they wrote this season and portrayed the characters was rather disgraceful... they turned Elizabeth into a rude, self centered spoiled rich girl returning to her rich little roots... Lucas has been sketchy since he came to Hope Valley, and has never really proven himself as trust worthy as far as I can tell... Nathan did the Noble thing by coming to Hope Valley to look out for Elizabeth and little Jack with no ulterior motive in mind, yet he found himself falling in love with Elizabeth, just as Jack had...
Myself I don't feel the writers should have ever strayed away from the original story told in the books, especially this far away... The story is about a school teacher and a mountie, not a school teacher and saloon owner.... and even tho the original mountie actor wanted to leave the show I really don't feel they had to kill him off, they simply could have replaced him... they brought in a new Mountie anyway, they could have just replaced the actor instead of the whole character... and even if they felt they needed to replace the character they still could have stood true to the original storyline and created a new love story with the new mountie....
I just think the writers screwed up all the way around, especially this last season and Honestly don't see how they can possibly come back from this... I believe they will loose alot of viewer support...
The only reason I'm even giving it a 2 rating is for the other storylines I did enjoy...
