I don't understand why people think the real episode will have a different ending. The ending wasn't the problem, it's everything else before. We get no answers to any of our questions, lots of boring bits with the FBI, RJ is a coward, running for his life.
But the ending, the strangling bit was wonderfully done. Simon Baker did a fantastic job, if you watch his face while he is strangling him, everything is in that face! He couldn't have done that scene any better! Waiting 10 years for his revenge and finally getting it.
You guys know it deep down that this is the same episode that they will air tonight. The writers and Bruno Heller fucked it all up. They had the opportunity to make something outstanding and breathtaking with the whole episode and they didn't. They should be grateful to Simon Baker for sort of saving this stupid episode.
