Fong falls off the cliff with a rope attached to her and she cuts the rope. Go to commercial then it comes back and she's on Cullen's horse back in town.
WTF?
No that is how the scene played out. We are to assume
Spoiler: show
the snow broke her fall, I guess.
Spoiler: show
Hmmmm OK. I like her and glad she made it so I won't complain but it was pretty far up there to survive the fall but I guess weirder things have happened in reality. They could have at least had a scene showing it but oh well thanks.
Yeah my wife and I thought it was strange too, but whatever.

I'm pretty sure you guys did miss a part. After fong falls to the snow, Bohannon runs the long way down and finds her at the bottom in the deep snow, hurt but alive. That's how I recall it playing out on the downloaded version I had.

Yeah I've seen other people mention him finding her in the snow going through talkbacks for episode reviews. Odd that it was cut out of the one I saw.

Well all caught up. Season 5 has been really good so far. I miss Common but overall maybe the best one yet.

Boy these final episodes have been brutally awful and rushed. Shame that they are ending the series like this when they knew it would be the final season and had basically two years to get it right. Really disappointed in what is one of my favorite series.

Lol. The Swede storyline was the big one for me. He's the main antagonist on the whole show, and the way they ended that story just seemed... odd.

Seems like they are giving the big players separate episodes to wrap up their arcs.

meh. They had to wrap it all up. I think the episode prior to the finale would have been a good way to end the series, with Cullen falling to the floor in tears because it was finally over. The last episode seemed completely out of place, and Cullen's ending even more so. It would have been better fitting had he gotten to the docks in San Francisco and dropped the chinese girl's address into the bay and instead went back to working on the southern line of the railroad. Dude was a railroad man. Oh well, sad it is over, but didn't care for the final 8 episodes at all.

I thought he was gonna drop the address. I'd watch a Cullen travels the world and gets into adventures show though.

The last few episodes were pretty meh. It seemed like the story had just run out of steam and there was no grand arc holding it together. Not a great ending but a realistic one i guess.
