* AssPull: Many fans feel that [[spoiler:Molly wanting a divorce from Jonas]] at the end of the show is a complete 180 of her characterization for the entire preceding series.
Added DiffLines:
* DeathOfTheAuthor: While a lot of the outline for the cancelled Season 5 that the showrunner eventually revealed is well-liked, his plans to have [[spoiler:token ActionGirl Red Cap]] get StuffedIntoTheFridge can come across as a big disservice to the character, especially after how , [[spoiler:she was meant to be a short-term character who was popular enough to keep around and had already been subjected to the controversial plot line where a FakeDefector pretends to try to rape her to make his defection look real]].

too good to last wick removal
Changed line(s) 6 (click to see context) from:
* TooGoodToLast (Season four's ratings were decent but not quite worth the show's high production cost, and the season four finale is officially the series finale as well.) This was actually symptomatic of an attempt to save the show by reducing the budget with the hopes that it would be seen as more appealing for a renewal if it had a cheaper price tag. This is also why [[spoiler: Molly and Colonel Ryan leave,]] to pitch season five as having a cheaper payroll.

* BetterThanItSounds: The show took a lot of flack for the inane wife plotlines and it's right-wing leanings (arguably more so than ''24''), but the soldier stuff is pretty decent and by the end of the series the wives were firmly entrenched within the military themed plotlines.
