I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I loved how she went from being seemingly hurt to just fine to weird in a moment.

I'm sure you're right. Which is a bummer. However, it is a perfect representation of the whole season.

In the immediate aftermath of the episode, I wondered if it was left ambiguous so we'd wonder about it. After thinking about it for 5 more minutes after this post, I realized there was no other way to read it.

Tanya's death was pitch-perfect, I thought. The whole season was leading up to her Madame Butterfly-esque dramatic end, and then she bonks her head on a railing.

i loooved it. It felt unexpected, specially after she killed everyone.. felt totally in character because let’s not forget how clumsy she was. Besides being an awful human being too..speaks very highly of Coolidge that we all liked her so much

I mean, it is "left ambiguous so we'd wonder about it" but it's also poorly done so that it doesn't actually make anyone wonder.

Team you on your second point. Though there was an element of cheapness to it for me only as a compare/contrast with the opening of the season. Not a total bait and switch but it got as close to that line as you can get without stepping over. It still works and it's fine. But it still bugs me a little bit (again, comparing the setup in ep1 to the reveal in the finale; not the actual death itself).

I had no issue with it.

The death in the first season was essentially an accident as well. If anything, it would feel out of character for the show to resort to some sort of professional hit job for the main death. The whole thing had a Cohen brothers-esque feel to it.
