I think the important thing though, as they've said, that it doesn't feel like a spit in the face. That everything you watched was meaningless because it was a part of Sam's coma. A part of that is that it's not a sudden twist ending like in Roseanne or Dallas or whatever. It may sound like a cheat, or a stupid idea, on paper but personally it still felt like the time you spent with those characters and their relationships were meaningful and not a waste of 16 episodes.
