The finale was well done and great to watch, but I also felt underwhelmed by the ultimate conclusion.
I didn't like how Elliot didn't actually defeat Whiterose, but she simply gave up. Now the presentation of her suicide was a mindfukk moment, but the logic of her storyline was ridiculous.
So Mastermind was the one that created fsociety? How did he forget that fact then?

Damn, I just read about how Rami Malek and Portia Doubleday had a big falling out which is why Angela got killed off so early this season. Date your coworkers, brehs.

I thought it was a generally solid ending. We got resolution for everyone still alive, Elliot integrated the various parts of himself and became a full and balanced person, etc. It hit all the major character stuff, but it left some open questions about the "real" world that still bother me. Namely:
-If Whiterose is just a crazy cult leader, why does she shoot herself after saying she's going to show Elliot what she showed Angela? That implies she has shot herself before, and the Whiterose we've been speaking to since Angela's meeting with her has been some sort of replacement. (It's worth noting that up until that meeting, WR smoked almost every time we saw her, and never does again afterwards). Angela is also very insistent that she saw proof, not just heard rhetoric.
-What was up with 11:16? If it's simply a nod to the fixed time of the "loop" that Elliot is trapped in, then why does it turn up so much in things that happen out in the "real" world? It's been showing up for several seasons, and not simply in relation to Elliot-related things, like you might expect if it was just a clue or foreshadowing - it shows up even as far back as the time on WR's lover's watch the day he dies. How could that possibly be a function of Elliot's mental state?
-What happened in the three days following 5/9? And if, as some people have guessed, we don't see those days because Realliot is "driving" during them, then why does he go back to sleep? At that point, he's just succeeded in his mission, everyone is still alive, etc. He'd have no reason to run away. And why does he "wake up" for Darlene only to fall back into the loop again?
I'm okay with ambiguity or unanswered questions. It's not a plot hole for us to wonder if Dom made it to Budapest, or to have to suspend a little disbelief to accept that the room Elliot was in at the plant could have protected him from explosions, but I feel like some of the unaddressed things I listed are integral to understanding what actually happened in the show and I would've liked to see them addressed a little more directly.

My Soundtrack is the second “Carter”
This my only complaint. Alot of the storylines ultimately didn't matter cause they were created by "mastermind" anyway. Not "real" elliot. So im fine with fscoiety being gone and people like mobley and trenton dying etc.
But Tyrell always seemed to be a major player in all of this and at the end he didn't matter at all.

I don't really understand cats bringing up 
"the ratings fell!" and/or "it was cancelled!" as some kind of co-sign for their opinions of the show.
Both of those things apply to "The Wire". Which was actually, really cancelled. David Simon had to beg HBO to bring it back so he could somewhat wrap it up.
Meanwhile "Game Of Thrones" had a WOAT level final season and finale and it was watched by 20 million people. That's just how things are sometimes.

As far as Tyrell, his arc was fine. He was instrumental to the 5/9 hack, got duped into being a pawn for the system he tried to subvert (became a lame duck CEO for Dark Army) then gave his life for Elliot to make up for it.
Not sure what more people were expecting.
I wish his wife would've stuck around a bit longer.
And Angela. But honestly I have no idea what exactly she'd be doing, with how season 4 unfolded.
