I can promise you that I will never be happy with any show that ends by saying "GOT YOU! IT WAS ALL A DREAM! AREN'T WE CLEVER?"

The difference is I don't think there is any attempt to deceive you into thinking what he is experiencing is reality. I don't feel like a cheap trick or a cop-out. It doesn't come out of nowhere, like it's a possibility from the off. Like the creator said, it's fairly obvious as you see him get hit by a car. And it doesn't even come last minute. He's aware he's in a coma from the first episode of series 2. He see's doctors and medics. It's about him trying to find a way back.
And when he gets there, he doesn't want to be there. So in the end he kills himself to live in 1973 forever. It's beautifully tragic.
