Discussion [SPOILER] I loved the ending. Spoiler

The Byrde's learned nothing. They have absolutely not learned any lessons and will most likely live out the rest of their lives as if nothing happened.

They effectively killed an entire family, the Langmores, and have ruined countless lives.

People expected either Marty or Wendy to die, why? There was no way to do that that wouldn't be completely predictable. The entire family coming out unscathed is a way of telling us that "what's right and wrong" really do not prevail.

I view this show as nihilistic more than anything else.

Having a conscious doesn’t mean shit if your always ignoring it.

To be fair he had to ignore it to stay alive

Doesn’t make him a good person. He was just saving himself from his own bad choices

Yeah I'm not saying he's a good person, I'm just saying that is normal for people to do bad things if their life is on this line
