I was satisfied with how Locus and Felix went out personally. Their stories came full circle. Although, I think they way they executed the whole 'Felix is afraid of Locus' thing was vague. He's not really afraid of Locus, I think he's afraid of not being in control; like not having Locus on his side. He tries to make Locus seem like the crazy one in order to cope and justify the horrible things he's done. If Felix ran to the Reds and Blues, say Sarge, Simmons and Grif, the others could've simply shot at him, giving the 3 Reds time to back up and detonate the grenade. Whenever Felix was fighting Carolina or Wash, Locus was always there to back him up. Or at the very least, Felix knew Locus was somewhere around to give him back up. Okay, say he didn't run at them because he did have the SAW (Though it disappeared after Tucker threw the grenade) And he could've shot at them again with the SAW. I don't buy that Felix wouldn't be able to, with someone as skilled as he is, being able to take on the Freelancers on multiple occasions, he shouldn't have gone out in a way that was so lame. The thing about Locus is that he tries to find the good and tries to justify his actions, and just when he can't find anything good about it, Felix just says "Oh hey it's not your fault, you were just following orders.". Then Locus used that as an excuse, just like Wash had pointed out to him. When Felix told Locus to forget about following orders, he basically said "If we're not doing this for orders, then what ARE we doing this for?" Santa told him it's all just for nothing. I'm not saying that their stories didn't come full circle because I think they did perfect, I just didn't like how Felix went out. I do think that Felix is most well done villain out of the entire series; including Maine, since I always found Maine to be the 'Broly' of the RvB Universe. Didn't really like that, so seeing Felix go out like that kinda disappointed me. I think this Season topped the Recollections Trilogy.

I still think the ending was flawless, I loved the message they had along with the theme of the trilogy, and even smaller things, like how Felix constatnly said "It's war, not everyone makes it back." And though the war was finished, there were still facing the leftover enemies, and unfortunatly, Church/Epsilon was one of the casualties of the war. Along with Doyle and many many unamed soldiers. Even Mathews almost died. So they were playing on Faith, Trust, War, and so many others that I don't mind not having an action packed ending. Not every ending has to have loads of action and loads of celebration. They had a message and as long as that message is well done I wouldn't care if the season finale had 0 action. I think the writing for the Chorus Trilogy is by far, one of the best writing I have ever seen. That's why I thin the Chorus Trilogy is better than the Recollections trilogy. Each villain wasn't just a 'Broly' beating up everyone who got in their way. They had limits, not saying Recollections Trilogy was trash, it was great but I just didn't like Maine that much. Only brute strength guy can take on literally everyone. With Locus and Felix, they didn't have just this brute strength, They were skilled mercenaries who nearly completed their mission, and while attempting to complete their main mission, they completed multiple other side missions, such as killing Doyle, even though he sacraficed himself he never would've had to do it if it wasn't for them, and taking the UNSC Tartarus. Well done villains, well done story.
