Nip/Tuck: And in the end?

"Nip/Tuck" is one of those shows that was never really for me, and it became increasingly not-for-me as it went along. It's perennial need to top itself turned me off quickly, and makes me fear that Ryan Murphy's "Glee" (which, admittedly, I don't love, either) could go on a similar course if he's not careful.

That said, this was a long-running drama that was very popular (by basic cable standards) for quite a while, so for those of you who stuck it out to the bitter end, I'm curious what you thought of the finale. (And I'm curious whether it matched up to that flash-forward episode they did a few years ago with Christian and Sean as old men.)

For those who watched, what did you think?
