Any worries about the show having to do reshoots being a bad sign it was going to be a complete train wreck were totally unfounded, as the season was nothing if not impressively put together, and certainly beautifully executed and acted throughout.
(See what I did there?) True, I think the general consensus was that William and the Man in Black were one and the same, and indeed they were, so no shocker there.Īlso, I think even more of us knew that multiple timelines were in play here, but I don’t know that the show was really trying to hide that aspect of it too much, beyond some, in retrospect, flat-out brilliant editing going on throughout the season. So, even if a lot of people were on the money about what was really going on, watching it play out was still plenty entertaining, especially given some of the things going on that most people didn’t see coming, as well as the signposts to the…ahem… future.
