Tons of spoilers below on the finale that aired today. If you want to watch this and care about spoilers, do not go any further!!!

You have been warned....

Did anybody else watch this? It might be because I am 9 months pregnant, but I cried and cried. I personally believed that Elsa would die since she was shot like 3 episodes ago, but I have to say that I hoped she wouldn't.

I just hate that someone so free of the constraints of society and femininity had to die. But I guess she had to.

What is your takeaway from the series? I think it was such an important moment for the genre, honestly. This was a true western that did right by women and minorities. I mean, really just great stuff. The acting was incredible. Who knew Tim McGraw could act like that??

I thought Shea's death was also perfect with the little hummingbird at the end. It made me think Elsa was with him, but a review I read said this was a reference to his wife. I really love that idea that Shea spoke of to Elsa that your loved ones never die until you die, and they can experience the world still through your eyes. Maybe that is true in a way.

Ugh, I just am sad that it's over and Elsa is dead. But I have to say it ended with what I think death must really feel like. I have often thought it probably feels a lot like what she describes, if it happens slow enough. The one time I ever used a narcotic (in the hospital, under supervision), it felt like she described-- your hopes and dreams melding in with your memories. So that gives a little solace. I just really wanted her to have a long, happy free life. But I guess Shea was right that she outlived everyone in the sense that she lived to the fullest in the short time she had.

Still crying!
