Yep. Series 5 in general was pretty surprising to hop into: so much darkness, so suddenly!
I'll keep an eye out for For Those Who Hunt The Wounded Down...I'm curious, now. :)
I just try to come to terms with the end of stories if I liked the whole thing leading up to it, because a bad ending can ruin the entire thing for me. (Do you know of Avatar: The Last Airbender? I loved the show so much...up until the finale. At which point the storytelling was suddenly so horrible that I haven't been able to watch a single episode since.) And this was sad, but not irredeemable, to me. They went out with a bang, in a way that a lot of TV series don't have the opportunity to do: either they're forced to end earlier than they were supposed to, or they drag on longer than they should. The ending was...not the most uplifting or what we hoped for, but I can't deny that they made it incredibly powerful.
