They kind plodded around with some new mysteries but it seemed like they had the flash-epilogue in mind the entire time as being the thing we'd remember and care about and love. whoops.
Yeah my main problem with season 6 was that it seemed like they had an end goal in mind, and just phoned it in the rest of the way. There weren't a whole lot of surprises and they could have made it shorter.
