I agree it was very quiet for a season finale. The 'cliffhanger' of Pasha was resolved quickly and quietly, he's fine and going home. Nobody got caught or even almost got caught. Pastor Tim is leaving and Paige is okay with it and everything is fine there too.
The scenes with Stan & his girlfriend went nowhere, there were no big revelations about her being another spy, although she did try to get hm to stay in his job which is something a spy might do.
The scene of the polygraph test went nowhere... the guy passed the test and nothing interesting happened. Martha might adopt a kid? I mean that's nice but it's not exciting and Martha isn't even in the action anymore. Do they just hand out kids to anyone who seems lonely? I think Martha needs a lover more than a kid or a puppy. And there was NOTHING at all with Oleg and his storyline was much more important than Martha's. I expected the Oleg storyline to go somewhere!
There was just a whole lot of slow, quiet scenes that seemed more like they belong in the middle of a season, scenes that didn't have any real payoff. They might eventually have a payoff next season, but then they don't belong in the finale, kwim? I just expect more from a finale. I expect that all the slow buildup from this season would have more payoff.
