I'm a few days late, but what did everybody think of the finale? I am happy Eddie and Katherine are (were?) planning on giving their marriage another chance. I'm also happy that he apparently tells her about Delilah's baby BEFORE he moves back in. Start with a clean slate of no lies. I wonder what her reaction will be? It was Delilah's choice to say it was John's baby.
When they were being so careful not to show Barbara Morgan's son on camera, I figured out he was going to be the boy Rome met at the hospital. I guess that will be the big mystery for next season, he will want to know about John. I'm not sure this show needs more characters though...
I found the 2 airport flashback scenes to be confusing. The overlapping flashbacks were a good idea for the big reveal, but I wish they had been a little more different from each other so I could tell which bit went with which flashback. In hindsight I was thinking, well of course he wasn't going to take a bottle of wine on the plane post 9-11, but I didn't pick up on that at the time.
i don't know how I felt about 9-11 being brought in as a story element. It's not something that I really like being involved in entertainment. They were respectful, but it just takes me out of the story and back to real life.
So for next season's storylines, we will have: Eddie and Katherine working on their marriage (hopefully), Delilah and the big baby secret, Rome and Gina not agreeing on having babies, Barbara Morgan's son, and hopefully no health trouble for Maggie or Gary. I'm ready for them to get to think about something other than potentially dying.

I was confused by the whole Barbara Morgan and her son story line also, mainly because my dh came home during that time. So the Barbara morgan's kid is NOT John's correct? It's the friend that died on the plan?
I'm not sure Katherine can handle Delilah having Eddie's baby.

They made a big deal about the baby being too soon. I bet she figures out it’s John’s baby and not Eddie’s....AFTER Eddie tells Katherine the baby is his.

It's the friend that died on the plan? I'm not sure Katherine can handle Delilah having Eddie's baby. That is what I got from it. Jon's friend that died is Patrick's father, but Patrick doesn't know that. That is probably why every time someone came to the house looking for Barbara Morgan, Mitch turned them away. He is likely afraid that the truth will come out, and Patrick will be upset when he finds it out.
I too think that Jon is the father of Delilah's baby. I've thought that all along, really.
I love this show.
On another note, does anyone else miss the days when the end of the season for tv shows was in May and we only had to wait until fall to watch the next season? When/why did this trend start of shows ending in the winter and not coming back on for 7 months? I don't like it! LOL

And they take what? A month off over the holidays? So we are basically only having a show to watch for 4 months out of the year.

Maybe she was quick to say it was Eddie's baby because she didn't want him to know she was still having sex with Jon? Maybe she figured the times were so close, since she was with Eddie when Jon died, that Eddie wouldn't question it. |

Delilah told Eddie she wasn't sleeping with John, but we don't know if she was telling the truth or not. In the flashbacks they seemed pretty distant with each other though. I'm thinking of the episode with the smoke detector battery.

Hmmmm, I thought the whole reason for the Patrick story was to find out he really was John's??
I really want Katherine and Eddie to get back together. I hope she can forgive him either way. But thats asking a WHOLE LOT!
If Delilah is carrying John's baby and not Eddie's I bet we don't find out for a while. Like until all the damage is done.

When a show ends before the big reveal, I have to think that it won't be what is expected. I read an interview with the writer or showrunner where they asked if Eddie was going to tell Katherine about the baby or something else and there was no confirmation that it is what we would assume. So I think Eddie is going to share something else with her that we don't know about yet.
I thought the tie-in to 9/11 was very unexpected. When I think of that day, I think of where the planes ended up, not where the flights originated but of course one flight started in Boston. At the time there were plenty of stories of people who missed those flights. The writing on this episode went a long way toward improving the storytelling for me which up until now has been very predictable.
I hope that Gina won't cave on her decision not to have children. It's rare for a show to let a woman make that choice and stick to it. The Big Bang Theory is doing this with Penny and I hope they stick with it. I get that Rome changed his mind but that doesn't mean she has to change hers. It is a good story. What happens to a marriage when one person decides they want kids and the other absolutely does not?

I love the finale. I was hoping to have the answer to what specifically happened 2 years ago. I follow along on a Facebook group and the theories are pretty accurate, so 9/11 wasn't a surprise. They like to blur scenes, but it makes it interesting.
I think Eddie will get the call about D before he shares what he planned to share. I like Katherine and miss her character on H50. I like how they've softened up her character, and hopefully we'll see more of her.
My favorite scene was when she cleared the air with Hunter at the law firm. It was PERFECT!

I fell asleep during the reveal of Barbara. Waiting to get it on demand so I can watch it again. 🙂

My favorite scene was when she cleared the air with Hunter at the law firm. It was PERFECT! I wish the show would have more Katherine. Maybe next season! I did think she should have been at Delilahs's house for the big "gift from John" gathering. Her absence stuck out like a sore thumb. At the very least, she could have picked out something for Katherine and had Eddie deliver it. How is she explaining to the kids why Katherine isn't a part of the group anymore? |

Well, I'm sure she told them that Eddie and Katherine are getting a divorce. She doesn't need to tell them the exact details. they are kids. |

She probably leads them to believe she's working all the time. |

I think Eddie will get the call about D before he shares what he planned to share. This was my thought too!! And that the baby is Jon's. I'm a little confused about the attitude that Mitch has had though. I mean, all they would have to tell the kid is that D is one of Mom's friends, I mean, no normal kid is going to jump to the conclusion that "omg-my-parent-have-a-big-secret-that-she-must-be-a-part-of" when a stranger/new person is introduced that their parents know. |

Did you notice that Patrick is "Carl" from the Walking Dead? Real name Chandler Riggs.
I hope that Delilah's baby is John's. I don't think we need that layer of drama since there are so many other story lines going on.

I thought the Season Finale was great.
I did not put 2 and 2 together in regards to 9/11 or the boy Rome met being Barbara's son. Now it makes me wonder when he actually watched that video we saw him watching at the end.
Was he at the hospital on purpose that day?? Did he know at that point?
I really was glad when Eddie and Katherine were making up - I want him to be honest with her about the baby (if it's his) but I'm afraid Katherine will "flee" if he tells her.
As far as Katherine not being at the house with everyone, I'm not sure that was abnormal. I feel like they set that up all season with she was never around, she was always working, etc.

I thought it was a good finale. Glad that we know Maggie is going to be healthy again and is moving in with Gary.
I wasn't expecting the 9-1-1 connection and can understand why Jon would have survivor's guilt about that. I do think Barbara's son is the room-mates and not Jon's (at least it seems that way and I hope so). But you know that he spent more time with Barbara over the year's since she had been in that apartment he was holding onto as we know, since she painted the scene that was the view from the apartment. I wonder if her son knew Jon well and maybe he thinks Jon is his dad.
I am glad that Katherine and Eddie decided to work on things and that he is going to tell her the truth about Delilah's baby.
I suspect there will be a rocky path ahead for Rome and Regina since he now seems to want children and before that was something they never really wanted and she obviously still doesn't.

I don't think he spent time with her in that apartment afterwards. I think that painting was done pre-911 and that he couldn't let go of the apartment and the memories after. |
