Oh and I thought it was written very jumbled and sloppy, felt rushed which I get bc they were trying to wrap everything up, which I usually don't nitpick about, but I could actually feel the jumbleness which made it more of a mess imo

Honestly I kind of cried...I thought I wasn't going to cry but I did Haha, I thought the finale was okay for BATB. KK mentioned that she likes episode 12 more than 13 so that was a reason why I wasn't expecting something huge, for me 12 was so much better, I actually love episode 12. Anyways for me it was good. KK speaking french again and finally Catherine becoming a lawyer, I think that was awesome. The episode has reference of Beauty and the Beast: Adam and Isabelle. That was nice They had me there for a moment with the limo scene, nice job. This finale was much better than the season 3 finale. I was talking to Katie and I was telling her how unfair it was that Catherine was giving up her entire life and not seeing her sister anymore. Same for Vincent with JT and Tess so I thought they all getting together at the end it was good too. Also it's pretty obvious that they are not going to stop trying to save the day. On season 2 they explained that, they are like that, no one can change that. It's in Cat's nature and Vincent is going to do the same so the final scene makes sense to me. After all, it was a good run. Nice job to the cast and crew

Well, I haven't read through all the posts, will just post my uninfluenced feelings after watching. I loved it! Was it perfect? Nope - far from it. But I loved every minute of it. It's final episode, so I'm not gonna gripe. I'm just looking at the positives.- Loved all the emotion in this one, all the characters had a chance to shine!
- Loved the all the farewell scenes, especially Cat's non-goodbye with Tess- Loved how pretty Cat was in this episode- Loved how shaken JT was by Vincent's death and his eulogy at VinCat's funeral- Loved that Cat finally became a lawyer and fulfilled her original path- Loved that she changed her name to Isabelle, so similar to her Smallville French alter ego Isabella!- Loved the VinCat carriage ride through the city of Paris and the Scooby gang reunion on VinCat's 1 year wedding anniversary- Loved that VinCat finally got their happily ever after ...or did they? Loved that they even hinted at more crime fighting duo heroics even in their new life in FranceA few random things...- That guy that V sold his car to does a great Joe Pesci voice!
- It was kind of bizarre how calm things were at the start of the episode, especially VinCat going out to have a nice dinner like a normal couple. V's still a fugitive on the run after all! - Why does Cat always have to pee? (I'm not just talking about this ep)- Although KK liked 412 better than this one, I liked this one better than 412And so Beauty and the Beast comes to an end. IMHO, the episode brought the curtain down nicely. Fin. :beauty:

Season 4 Suzie, AMEN as to your comments!!!
I would have LOVED a fastforward to 5 years in the future, with Vincent showing up to pick-up Cat from having just won some important Victim's Rights case. And he would be holding their young daughter in his hands, who would have the cutest little piggy-tails. And you would have a wonderful Family Scene where they go have a picnic in the park, and while watching their little daughter play, Vincent and Catherine talk about how much they loved making their daughter and want to make another one! And they smooch, while the camera pans to the daughter whose eyes GLOW while watching something. So you realize that she has "the beast genes" even though VINCAT don't know this yet!!! And have it end there!
But you SEE how the emphasis has been on the Fab 5 as a whole more than VinCat, so I am not surprised. I would have been happy though with ONE true VinCat scene.
Sigh. But was still lovely to IMAGINE VinCat's FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YES, YES, YES! That would have been exactly what I would of wanted. That would have been wonderful! I mean if you are going to fast forward do it knowing everything has worked out and they are totally free. I liked the 1 year anniversary.....and the carriage ride. But really, does one really become a lawyer in France in 6 months?? Does anyone know? Catherine is smart but was she in law school when her Mom died? My assumption is that Cat is just super smart and fluent in French! She was studying law in college and must have a photographic memory to have finished Law school, and in French no less, in 6 months. LOL.

I can't believe it's over....Noooo ! It's so surreal but I know it's real... I agree with others...perhaps not a perfect finale but under the circumstances...it was better than I expected and fulfilled me more than I thought it would. I can honestly say probably the most emotional episode...in terms of it being a tear jerker Nicole is a great actress and it was interesting to see JT aka Austin acting more emotional and seeing his vulnerability. I don't know if I'm really fully satisfied in how Kyle and Heather resolved their issues...I'd rather have seen Kyle initiate more, rather than Heather kinda more begging him to help her lol and him turning up since she's in hospital. I think what most got me confused is that end scene...when Vincent told Cat to hold his hand before the bomb went off. Like how exactly did they escape? The scene looked like no way out...I guess he supersped,then how? Then I'm wondering how Vincent got in touch in the end with JT...actually I would've liked to have seen a scene with him finding out whilst Vincent was there to see the reaction. I quite liked the end scene with the carriage...weird they talk casually, "we were died 6 months ago" lol but minus that it was good to see bit of normality. It would've been good to see Vincent doing the doctor thing as well but oh well...Seeing Kristin speak more French was amusing and Jay pulled it off better this time lol. Loved the reunion. I wasn't expecting it, it was a pleasant surprise. I wonder whether Nicole really changed her hair or just Heather. Seeing vincat save someone again was a twist, though you'd expect in the 6 months they done it earlier...But it opens the story for repetition..you could even pull off a season 5! Speaking of, I can't believe it's the last episode My batb fix will be fan fics now lol and rewatching eps of course!

I felt the finale was OK. No great romance but deep love between Vincat. I cried a bunch when all said their goodbyes. I'm sad that it's over, but to be honest they could never catch the season 1 feel in the last two seasons. I don't want to complain though, but I wasn't as sad it was over as I had thought I would be. Which is sad too. Even if I liked the finale, it wasn't as good as some great shows.
I'm also very very mad at jay of not tweeting anything in the end of the show. That's just like spitting to our faces ad we have been by his side these last 4 years.
I lov3d the JT&T nod in the end. It's the sweetest couples name even if I don't really enjoy the couple.
Now I must stop as I sound way too negative in regards to my feelings of the ep. Not the best but definitely not the worst. 😊

I'm not sure how I feel about the series final last night. Yes I wanted much more from VinCat (like little one's) but they did ended up together which I'm happy about. I would have like a more romance from VinCat in this episode but I take what I can get at this point. I will for sure miss BATB and it cast of members. Most of all I will miss you all on this forum too. You help me keep my love for the show alive. Thank you ALL!!!

I feel very frustrated by this. I'm trying not to let it taint my feelings for the series but right now it does. I thought the finale was satisfying considering how much that needed to be wrapped up.

Not the best but definitely not the worst. 😊 I agree with you! Well, I have slept on my thoughts of the finale. I am satisfied that they wrapped up everyone's life in a happy light! JT and Tess, Heather and Kyle, ......I am truly glad that Vincent and Catherine are where they are too. I wish they let us know what Vincent was doing.......I mean if Cat can be out there as a lawyer maybe Vincent could be a Medic or something, helping indigent people. I feel like the whole VinCat vibe was off on the roof. I mean, enough already with the wine glasses........they should have had their arms around each other, face to face, ...........even a Catherine FACE-TOUCH to Vincent would of been so romantic.........maybe she could of traced where his scar had been and just reminisced how far they have come. I liked Vincent's comment about having another roof........but this is THEIR ROOF and they are saying good bye to their old lives. Could of been very powerful! The wine glasses have been an annoying prop, IMO! I was very happy that many members of the cast, Hitower, Catherine Ashton, Stuart Gillard and some others acknowledged the finale and had such kind words to say to the fandom. It really was a lovefest and makes the good-byes so bittersweet. It does stand out that Jay Ryan did not take a moment to thank all the wonderful Twitter posts of Thanks to him yesterday. It was extraordinary. I don't expect him to engage in the fandom, but acknowledgement of the time and care those individuals put forth to honor him on the BATB Finale day would of been nice. I will stop too, I don't want to sound too negative either. I am glad we got our Season 4 and closure to this love story. Jay and Kristin gave their all, heart and soul...........as well as Austin, Nina, Nicole, became the epitome of friends and family that we all wish we had in our own lives. This was an outstanding cast and I always enjoyed the action, camera work and scenery of the episodes. I will truly miss this show and I feel a bit lost this morning. Someone please advise me on a new show to watch and get interested in......suggestions welcome. Maybe we could all do a rewatch of the series sometime together after the DVD comes out?

I second the rewatch of the entire series. And idk why but seeing VinCat run at the end, the finale scene gets me every time. It's just so bittersweet. I really was hoping for that baby. I was hoping that was what Cat was going to tell him instead of I'm a lawyer.

i'd give Jay a week, at least in regard to sending his thanks. I think he's taken that before to acknowledge renewals or PCA wins or something. maybe he's on a beach, maybe he turns off his notifications or long ago muted followers or maybe some things come across as spam to him TVline recap tvline.com/2016/09/15/beauty-and-the-beast-recap-series-finale-vincent-catherineThey just wrapped his latest project "Mary Kills" so perhaps he was traveling back to NZ.
