So much potential, then it slips, then it ends very high!
Having adored Felicity in it's first season to the point of obsession and then abandoned her like so many fans when she cut her hair, I was always curious about how the series ultimately played itself out. Fortunately through the miracle of DVD I now know, and in this final fourth season I felt a wrap up and conclusion that is rarely realized on TV - ever.
The fourth season was bit melodramatic for most of it's mid point as the whole Ben/Lauren subplot was probably my least favorite storyline in the series. By some odd almost improbable means though the series ends incredibly strong and ironically it's because it was cancelled a bit earlier than usual, then suddenly ressurected for several more episodes. What's amazing is that even though the "first" ending (episode 17) is emotional, I would never have felt as satisfied with the end of the series had the plot twist in episode 18 not played out so well with such a competent group of people to pull it off. It makes me sad to catch up and see it end finally three years after it was cancelled, but fulfilled nonetheless at a great achievement in television production.
