I'm not sure what happened here but production value and ability to flesh out a action sequence just went out the window with this finale.
The way the guys cleared rooms, how weapons were held and fired, etc all demonstrated knowledgeable experts and tactics. But then plot armor busts in and suddenly guys just stand out in the open. And pending the story either skilled marksman miss horribly or the individual is blown away by someone who has never fired a weapon? Ever? Couple sequences taken straight from the bad guy school of John wick. Just run at the person pointing the gun at you.
And where in fact did Picard come from?!? Shot, bleeding out, fallen into a ditch, miles away. Then shows up conveniently to have a final confrontation with Finlay? Come on. That's beyond absurd.
And what happened to Roscoe suddenly forgetting how to fight? A fat old man with a cane would NOT been able to go toe to toe with her. Assuming the claim of FBI, CIA, etc recruitment was valid. But forget all that just hop on the guy crawling on the ground and then fall off cuz old boy shrugged I guess.
I feel there's a few ways they could have resolved that final confrontation but what they did Def wasn't it.
Lastly, I know reachers tough. But seriously they put him into Dwayne The Rock Johnson in Fast and the Furious caliber of superman taking a beating from a crowbar and a shot to the jaw and crushing cell phones with his bare hand.
This entire season I'd give a 8 or 9 but this last episode just killed the immersion.
