I hadn't had a great deal of time to think about the rebels' actions all that much. However, other than the scene where they bombed the children, what have the rebels really done that was so awful? They don't "entomb" the district 2 workers -- they leave them a path out. The last and final Hunger Games was clearly the brainchild of Coin and Plutarch, (and I'm surprised we get no comment about those games from Katniss later or any guilt from her in voting for them,) so I don't know that it even ever actually happens.
Bombing the children is the biggest thing, yeah. Also IIRC they only leave the district 2 workers a path out because Kat pushes strongly for it.
Re: Kat voting for the Hunger Games: I thought it was a piece of showmanship on her part. People hear Coin announce new Hunger Games. People see Kat shooting Coin. Since the actual vote is kept secret, they assume that she voted in opposition and, when she was outvoted, shot Coin instead in protest. Basically her way of driving the message home in a more powerful way than simply voting no.
I dunno. Maybe I'm giving her too much credit.
The only thing that strikes me as odd is that Gale never (knowledgeably) comes to visit Katniss once.
Yeah, Gale's exit is another thing that strikes me as "too easy" in the ending. It's very convenient that he may or may not have indirectly contributed to Prim's death and then gracefully exits the stage so that Kat/Peeta is the only possibility left.
