No, I liked it. It's a nice change from the standard TV/movie dramatic death with last goodbye speech before gently coughing up a small amount of blood, sighing and closing of eyes.
Not reading any Season 2 spoilers, but finished watching the first season last night. VERY amazing show, loving every minute of it. Can't wait to get my hands on the second season.......
*EDIT* okay, so I just finished Season 2. I loved the ending. So many times I was like ":O". The ep made me ;( a lot, though.
