I never expected jack to fight the guardian again. Even the guardian just told him it wasn't his time for him to go back yet- not that they would fight again in 50 years for jack to be victorious.
This season has been about, imo, jacks struggle with hopelessness and about him and aku basically giving up the fight against each other in everything but actually being at peace.

I had hoped for a rematch or even a very brief team-up, but by episode 4 or 5 I had assumed neither was happening.

The portal showed an aged Jack and then this season went 50 years into the future and had Jack with a beard. Instead, the point was to ultimately bring Jack back to normal in one episode and give him a love interest. Okay, fine. But you can't really deny that it seemed like the season was initially going to show that future in the portal - note that I didn't say that's what it was doing for sure, just that it looked like it was going that way in the first few episodes.
I would have appreciated if Genndy found better ways to get himself out of the corners he backed himself into, is all. This show didn't need any lazy retcons.

Those episodes were incredible. Shame what the following ones were like.
I'll admit tho, this last one (C) was pretty close in quality.

Those first 3 episodes could be an Emmy nominated short TV movie.

You're wrong. My opinion matters more and I say they've all been straight up poopy.

What if he never fights aku? What if he just accepts the new world and aku reigns forever?
With the exception of 8, which I'd say is just "ok", I'd agree.

Time to accept Aku as everyone's Lord and Master

Man, if only this had two more episodes.
I do feel like the show lost a hell of a lot of steam once Jack disappeared with the horseman. Those first episodes were incredible.
I have liked the rest, but it feels decidedly less epic/artsy than the tone they initially set up.

I hear Demongo collectin' strong doods. Showin' up in final battle with Guardian soul for greatest unresolved plot point.
Feels like a LOT of time and energy went into those episodes. They were so well put together it's almost obscene.

I can't believe tomorrow night is it.
That's how long all Samurai Jack episodes are. Did you expect an extended length episode?
Well yeah. But then again they could have 1 more episode to flesh things out a bit. Was there ever a reason why they are doing just 10 episodes and not 12 or 15?
I'm sure they worked out the pacing just fine. Considering that there's plenty of scenes that drag on quite a bit, I'm sure they fit everything they wanted in 10 episodes.

We're less than 24 hours away from the last episode of Samurai Jack ever.
It's been a magical run. It was such a memorable experience to have never seen an episode of Samurai Jack before and to watch the first episode of season 5 completely blind. That night I kept watching the rerun they had on their website's feed over and over thinking "What the hell is this, why is it so good, and why have I missed out on it?"
Which is odd since I loved the original The Clone Wars cartoon.

After what happened last episode, I have a sneaking suspicion that Ashi will be the one to deal the killing blow to Aku. I can also imagine lots of people being pissed if this were the case, but still...

I hope the ending will be satisfying. I got a feeling it's gonna leave much to be desired considering how much the series finale of Samurai Jack has to live up to expectations.

Damn, I don't know how I'd feel about this.
All the shit Aku has put Jack through, 5 seasons of building up to their conflict, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be disappointed.
Not angry though.Schucky Ducky

I'd be ok with that if Jack gets deliver the final blow to Aku in the past.
Please let Jack get back to the past.
It truly is the end of an era.

I'm just glad I'm getting closure I'm not walking around with 'the book of love' playing in the background as I have flashbacks of me and Jack growing up and falling in love with each other, having kids, and growing old together as we see our little grand children playing around.
Our childhoods can officially end after tonight.
I was going to mention Pirates of Dark Water, but that was probably before your time. Frankly even I barely remember much about it.

Don't get my hopes up. The only fight happening next episode is the possessed Ashi rematch.

The only thing that would actually upset me would be the Scotsman and his daughter army not showing up.
