In hindsight, the slow paced episodes of the 2nd half of this season, did do its job ....... the audience got to know the characters much better, getting people to care about them more - which should make the deaths on the finale, all the more shocking.
Like I said, if the IMDB spoilers hold true, its gonna be a brutal finale ....... 2 very serious ZA matters would make their debut.
Tiyak, bitin na naman lahat by the time the credits roll.
