* The last episode is a thing to behold. Grave and Harry spend most of it in a diner, just talking, arguing, lamenting their choices. As they do so, they keep flickering between points in their lives, as old man and necrolizer, two young mafioso, and teenagers. All of their decisions and grievances are finally aired out. In the background, all those who died in the series stand silent in witness.
* In the final scene, [[spoiler: Brandon and Harry finally resolve their differences, and once forgiven shoot each other, having resolved to 'go home' to all the friends and lovers they had lost in their ultimately futile struggle on the way to their golgotha]].
