I was not disappointed the least bit. I thought the finale was everything one could hope for in any season finale. I was sad to see one of my favorite characters bite the dust, but I've come to expect that nobody is safe.
The only disappointment that I could possibly think of is that last night's finale had the feeling (for me) like it was the end of a movie, or the an end of a book, or possibly even the end of the story. I know there are a lot of loose ends and big gaping holes and questions marks -- for instance WTF happened to The Governor -- but everybody came together, and they all are best friends, and it finished with such ambiance of hope and goodness of humanity. Yes, there is still the Governor, but he is like the only evil question mark that is left. Thus far in the story, there always has been major internal strife among the characters in Rick's group. That interpersonal internal strife was always as much of a threat of destroying the group from within as any existential threat could do so from the outside. But now Carl, a kid, is the only loose cannon in the group and he seems to young to present much of a danger to the whole group. Give him a couple more years and he could turn into a Merle, but right now he is just too young to be taken seriously even if he can murder in cold blood.
