I dunno, it just felt rushed and in need of a good 2-3 more episodes to really flesh it out.

I'm not sure what you are wanting to be further developed. You might just be sad that the show is over, heh.
Very true.

Season 2 wasn't entirely self-contained. We didn't revisit the docks, yeah. But we didn't revisit the schools from season 4 outside of a cameo or two. I don't see the difference.
No, I didn't mean to insinuate that it was entirely self-contained. I consider the fact that we had the 3-4 kids continue their story-line (along with a Neamon cameo) a big crossover. Plus, you still had the mayor as a big player.
