I know exactly what you mean. I really do love how everyone is a strong character, stars, guest stars, women, villains. Everyone seems to bring their best and no one ever seems to be just there to fill a slot. It's a clever show, and it uses its cast, and almost never looks lazy. But it's also not afraid to make fun of itself. And Shaw absolutely needs to be in the next season.

But, yes, I loved how Root wanted revenge for someone else's childhood trauma, she knows what she wants to accomplish and she has no apologies at all. So I'm pleased the season ended how it did!
