I still don't think the ending of the show is all that bad, for me it's mostly a failure of writing more than anything. If he's still got the motivation to wrap this story up and wants to go with a significantly more fleshed out and nuanced version of what we've already seen, I trust him to deliver that.

What worries me is that he's tied himself into so many knots that he's never going to be satisfied with what he ends with, and then we end up missing out completely because of it.
