You will be missed, and I will never forgive you for Joe's ending, but I am glad we got a real ending. It is so rare that a show isn't cancelled just when it was getting good and hitting it's stride, or more often nipped in the bud before it gets a chance to show just how great it might have been (I'm looking at you FIREFLY and MOONLIGHT), and sometimes they just get trashed beyond recognition and then put out of their misery. But AMC, for reasons no one ever seems sure about, gave HALT AND CATCH FIRE a full run. It was an awesome show all about these characters and their journeys, relationships, and now- the results of chasing both. I cannot BELIVE what they did to Joe!! Wtf! That was the worst finale of any show ever (and I include HIMYM) completely disregarding the primary reason why this show was interesting in the first place and focusing on two immature and incredibly flawed human beings that were side kicks/ruiners of all that was going well ever? I cannot believe it. I did like Cameron even with her destructive ways byt why were we forced to watch 30 minutes of Donna and Cameron doing a lame chit chat and then see Joe just as a silly afterthought with nothing really going for him in his life and still looking in the past is beyond me. Hated every minute of the finale. Aaargh. Basically this show says: forget the truly interesting visionaries, that made things happen (Joe and Gordon, from women only Diane really) lets just focus on two women chatting about their “are we friends or not” feelings. Wtf. Wtf. I'll have to take your word for HIMYM since, as I never watched it. But yeah, they did Joe and Gordon dirty, but especially Joe. If they had wanted to have Cameron have some sort of touchy-feely chit chat, couldn't they have let her have it with Gordon before his ending (they had a really interesting relationship) and maybe let Joe have some clear mentorship role with Haley? At least that'd be honoring the friendship he built with Gordon, allowing Joe to care for a kid, and giving Haley someone who had no ulterior motive to helping her except to see her succeed/honor her dad.
