I think you whiners missed out on some of the brilliant nuances portrayed on the show Thursday night. For one, Massachusetts is notoriously soft on criminals with felons doing the lowest percentage of their sentences in the entire country. Leave it to Massachusetts to throw bystanders in the slammer, while the criminal who was obviously caught on video tape went scott free. Where was the outrage over the perpetrator? Jackie Childs put up the perfect defense, the jury just got sucked in. I thought they did a pretty sharp job of illustrating some pretty ridiculous situations...including give us a few early "false alarms" about the fate of the Four Friends. Just my $0.02.
Subtle absurdities
Fans praise the finale's subtle absurdities including the Massachusetts setting's commentary on criminal justice and the Soup Nazi's Argentina refuge referencing Nazi war criminals.
Couldn't agree with you more.....

Another thing that was fairly subtle was the fact that the soup nazi mentioned that he had to move to Argentina when he was run out of business by Elaine. Argentina is known for being a political asylum for nazi war criminals.

This is such a joke. First, having a negative opinion of what was arguably a lame piece of writing is now "whining" (if you don't express a POSITIVE opinion of crap, you are "whining"). Secondly, the idea that you can substitute "brilliant nuances" for funny writing and then call it "comedy".
Rationalize on. This is how people sell themselves and then walk away convinced they've refuted critical opinion.
Don't complain to us when you bust your nuts on a parking meter.
My such acrimonious blather......
